I've noticed that my VM Windows 10 UEFI machine suffers from Audio Sync issues when playing videos from youtube flash videos. I thought it was the browser but I tried to reproduce this on another VM running, but played the youtube video through remote desktop. The RDP video never lost sync but running it on my physical machine just losses sync after 7 minutes. Changing primary sound device fixes it. When switching between the two TVs with HDMI audio output. It even happens to the onboard audio (Sounds scratchy and buggy) This happens on Opera browser Motherboard: Sabertooth X79 GPU: Radeon RX 480 Audio: HDMI GPU Pass through Has anyone else encountered this issue? Also is the sound quality better using a PCI-e sound card? I just wonder if this audio sync is buggy with certain apps when using the GPU audio. Thanks

I've captured my physical machine (OS Drive) using Windows PE and made a WIM. I've applied it to a SEABIOS VM and it boots flawlessly and just works. I want to do the same thing but to the OVMF UEFI VM. I've gotten pretty far applying the WIM and preparing the drive into an UEFI disk using Diskpart. This guide here got me really far but the machine fails to boot. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/commercialize/manufacture/desktop/capture-and-apply-windows-system-and-recovery-partitions Before capturing the OS, I manually installed the "VioStor" Windows 10 drivers by using Device manager and just forcing the install without having the Hard Drive Controller. I just realized something, I was able to make the machine boot by changing the Primary vDisk Bus from VirtIO to SATA. My questions are: Is it best to run VM with VirtIO or SATA bus? Is there a performance difference? Is there a way to prepare a machine with the VistIO storage controllers before making a WIM? Also is it best to use the VioStor driver W8.1 or W10 on a Windows 10 machine? Please let me know if its worth the trouble to convert the machine and run with VioStor vs SATA for the primary vDisk. Thanks
