Hello all! I've been having some issues trying to get the audio stutter/static on my VM to clear out (audio is passed through the GPU HDMI, GTX 970). I've read through all the old postings and tried what was recommended in those, but I'm still having this issue. I've enabled MSI for my GPU, pinned my CPUs, isolated my CPUs, even disabled some of the C states in my bios (I had originally disabled all C states, but Unraid got stuck on booting kernal. So C1e and C6 are disabled, and it booted fine)
Through Kodi I can play about 10-15 minutes of video before it starts stuttering. Through MPC-HC I can play audio pretty well, but audio/video get out of sync.
Any and all help or pointing in the right direction would be greatly appreciated, as I'm going bonkers trying to figure this out . Thanks!
