This solved the problem I had where UNRAID was stuck on "Starting Services"

OopsAllBerrys, What kind of hardware are you using? On my machines I have both refresh rate match and HD Audio passthrough working. I have also not experienced a loss of settings upon reboot. Gulo, I will have to give your VM image a go. I would love to use 9P filesystem.

Hi Is your fix for the issue with intermittent sound cut out? It is driving my crazy on my setup. I played some movies without a single audio drop pout, some with just few here and there and last night I was trying to watch Star Wars bluray rip and it was cutting out every few minutes. I have file "disable-spdif-for-hd-audio.conf" in modprobe.d folder with line "options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1" in it. Did you do something else as well? thanks gulo, I have not experienced any issues with audio cut outs. I applied the same fix that you listed above except that I put the "options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1" in a file called sound.conf in the same folder you listed. The only problem that I am having is that Kodi crashes if I browse through my library too quickly (I have a little over a thousand movies scanned into my kodi library). It is a little annoying and an issue that I have never had when running OpenElec. Not sure why it's happening. -Will

I have not tried any other cards other than the GT730. On my rigs I did have to enable ACS Override and add the sound.conf file with MSI interrupts but all seems to be working well now. I ironically originally set out to buy a GT720 because of the success others in the forum were having using it for Windows Virtualization but for some reason ended up buying GT730's instead. I now have two different rigs that are essentially identical up and running with the OpenELEC VM with GT730's. Neither have seen heavy use yet but I suspect they will over this Thanksgiving weekend. I will do my best to remember to report back if I have any issues. I By the way I am not familiar with the "no sound with usb" issue that you mention in the previous post. Again I don't know the particulars of that issues but I have been using a wireless USB keyboard that I passed through to the OpenELEC VM with no issues to sound that I have experienced. If I can test something -Will

Yes you may. EVGA GeForce GT 730 2GB GDDR5 64bit with Active Cooling. Here is a link to the exact unit on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L5GZG5C?keywords=evga%20gt730&qid=1448392099&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1. And more info about my rig.

Wow, am I grateful for this thread. I was convinced for a moment that my files had been corrupted somehow. Of course it was easy to figure out that was not the case. Simply removing plexpass from the variable value for the "VERSION" variable line and I am back in business. Dockers are the best! Thank you for your dockers.

So I finally got some time to mess with this again. I had lost sound after initially experiencing success. The addition of the "sound.conf" file to my modprobe.b folder has solved the problem for me. I have sound and I am experiencing success with TrueHD and DTS-MA passthrough. I still need to sit through a full movie but in a 15 minute sitting I am not having any issues. I am using an NVIDIA GT730 and using the Beta 3 VM template. I know that is light on any detail. I am happy to provide more if someone would like to know more about my setup.

You should have local mapping available. That is one of the advantages of using this VM is the ability to access your shares without using your network. -Will

I went ahead and used the "PCI ACS Override" and was able to get the OpenElec VM up and running. Initial the audio was tripping out and causing Kodi to crash every few minutes but rebooting the VM seems to have fixed the issue. Everything seems to be working well now. I don't have any media stored on this machine locally at the moment so I can't comment on any improvement on playback by avoiding a network connection. I will report back once I get some new drives installed and filled up with content. Regardless, this setup is pretty awesome. Jon, I am still interested in understanding/resolving the "Override" issue if you have a moment to explain/diagnose.

Hey Jon, I am having a similar issue as the first person to post to this support thread. internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: 2015-09-03T15:28:17.870758Z qemu-system-x86_64: -device vfio-pci,host=01:00.0,bus=pcie.0,multifunction=on,x-vga=on: vfio: error, group 1 is not viable, please ensure all devices within the iommu_group are bound to their vfio bus driver. 2015-09-03T15:28:17.870773Z qemu-system-x86_64: -device vfio-pci,host=01:00.0,bus=pcie.0,multifunction=on,x-vga=on: vfio: failed to get group 1 2015-09-03T15:28:17.870780Z qemu-system-x86_64: -device vfio-pci,host=01:00.0,bus=pcie.0,multifunction=on,x-vga=on: Device initialization failed 2015-09-03T15:28:17.870787Z qemu-system-x86_64: -device vfio-pci,host=01:00.0,bus=pcie.0,multifunction=on,x-vga=on: Device 'vfio-pci' could not be initialized Here is the other relevant info that you asked for from the other guy: PCI Devices 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3 Processor DRAM Controller (rev 06) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor PCI Express x16 Controller (rev 06) 00:01.1 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor PCI Express x8 Controller (rev 06) 00:14.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family USB xHCI (rev 05) 00:1a.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family USB EHCI #2 (rev 05) 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port #1 (rev d5) 00:1c.2 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port #3 (rev d5) 00:1c.3 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port #4 (rev d5) 00:1d.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family USB EHCI #1 (rev 05) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation C222 Series Chipset Family Server Essential SKU LPC Controller (rev 05) 00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family 6-port SATA Controller 1 [AHCI mode] (rev 05) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family SMBus Controller (rev 05) 00:1f.6 Signal processing controller: Intel Corporation 8 Series Chipset Family Thermal Management Controller (rev 05) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK208 [GeForce GT 730] (rev a1) 01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GK208 HDMI/DP Audio Controller (rev a1) 02:00.0 Serial Attached SCSI controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic SAS2308 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-2 (rev 05) 03:00.0 PCI bridge: ASPEED Technology, Inc.

So do I need to do the PCI ACS Override to make this work? What is the disadvantage of using the "Override"? Thanks in advance for your help. I am really excited to use this. -Will
