I get audio stuttering on windows 10 on one of my VMs which is running a gtx 970, on the 1070 VM the stutter happens much less often (every few minutes) whereas with the 970 it is constantly cutting in and out, I think it is freezing the audio stream and resuming it constantly (not pausing the player app), when I flip the 2 cards to the other pcie ports/vms then both have the audio strobing, this does not happen at all with the amd gpus when I test with those (idk which model number of amd card) the audio is using the cards dedicated audio over hdmi processors, on a non virtualized os in the same port the 970 has no issue with hdmi audio, I have tested with different cables/monitors in case those are causing the audio issues, no luck, I tried using the dedicated audio driver and an external audio card, but the ports for both are shared and ACS override (which I had to enable to get the cards to run in their own vms (they were grouped)) won't separate them (I think the devices share bandwidth with the sata controler) I disabled hyper-v in my attempts to fix the issue (because some reports the drivers refused to install with hyper v), and that didn't help, I tried uninstalling the nvidia hd audio driver, that fixed it, for 5 seconds then the problem comes back with a difference in timing between the cut outs, I tried using sound wire https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.georgie.SoundWireFree&hl=en to stream it to another device, the issue was fixed untill the latency counter in sound wire app/client showed it droping below 100ms then the issue was back! there is no riding myself of this issue ! any help is appreciated
