No; it just sends a request to the Unraid server. It doesn't utilize the Unraid Electric Brain API or whatever it's called. But if you wanted to PM me your discord (for easier method of communication) I can give you a shopping list of stuff that you'll need, or whether you already have the necessary items.

Hey! I actually use a pushbutton switch to power on/off my virtual machine. If you've got an RPi I can share my code with you (wouldn't be too hard to replicate for an Arduino). I use an RPi Zero that connects to WiFi and just sends a request to my Unraid server.

Final update! Ordered this Allegro USB 3.0 PCIe 4-Port (USB 3.0 Card) to replace my ORICO PCIE to USB 3.0 5-Port PCIE Card. (Aswell as this MSI Gaming Radeon RX 560 128-bit 4GB GDDR5, ***LINK IS FOR OC VERSION, I DID NOT PURCHASE THE OC VERSION***) After plugging it in and assigning the PCIe card and GPU to my MacOS Mojave 10.14.5 VM, had to perform these series of steps as I was getting distorted video: Start the VM, spamming the Escape key Enter OVMF Platform Configuration > Device Manager Change the resolution to something other than the desired resolution Press F10 and answer with Y Enter Commit changes and exit Press Continue In the Unraid webui press Force Stop on your macOS VM Start the VM again, once again spamming the Escape key Enter OVMF Platform Configuration > Device Manager Change the resolution to your desired resolution Press F10 and answer with Y Enter Commit changes and exit Press Continue Once again, Force Stop your macOS VM Start it again and once it fully boots into your image it should work fine. After that, Mojave booted as normal with it already detected my keyboard, mouse and headset from the USB PCIe card and have been using it for several hours now!

You can bind it and it should work. Although, if it does not you can enable ACS PCIe Override and see if that makes any difference. It can cause weird issues though, usually it all works fine.

As I mentioned, I'm not as familiar with AMD CPUs as I am with Intel. That might be true in the case of AMD's Infinity Fabric technology.. but I'm not sure. I'd recommend you give it a try anyway, it can't hurt to give it a shot.

I'm not as familiar with AMD CPU's as I am with Intel, but usually the first so many cores are "performance cores". My first suspect would be the "performance cores". Depending on what game, resolution and additional settings you might be trying to run, I would definitely expect to see a lot greater performance than 22 FPS with any description of settings combined with a 1080 Ti. Head to the CPU Pinning tab of settings. Settings -> CPU Pinning -> CPU Isolation I'd recommend you adjust the CPU isolation for Unraid. And then to use those isolated cores for the Windows 10 VM. Leave all the other cores alone for the Docker containers aswell and just adjust the isolation for the first four cores. In my case it's 0-8, 1-9. After you have isolated those cores, restart the Unraid server and head back to the CPU Pinning tab and under CPU Pinning VM select those same cores you just isolated for your Windows 10 VM. After that has been done, boot up your VM and run a benchmark like Unigine Heaven and see how that goes. If you don't see much improvement add another four cores to the CPU Isolation and VM.

If you're looking for your cheapest option, the answer would be a GeForce GT 1030. If you're wanting to do a little more than just browse the internet your next option I would have to recommend is a GeForce GTX 1660 Ti. It's a recent GPU that's more oriented for gaming but it'll it's my formal mid-range recommendation. If you're looking at Plex transcoding, I'd recommend the GeForce GT 1030. It's a low-profile low-voltage consumption at a mere 30W, compared to say the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti at 80W and the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti at a whopping 250W. SpaceInvader One made a wonderful video earlier this year about how to use a GPU for Plex transcoding. I'd recommend you go check it out.

Fantastic work as always SpaceInvader!

Could you post the VM log, VM XML and IOMMU groups? Also, do you have PCIe ACS Override enabled? My issue was with macOS High Sierra. I had fixed it by turning off PCIe ACS Override and adding the device ids of my PCIe devices to the vfio-pci.ids param of the syslinux configuration. Main -> Flash -> Syslinux Configuration -> Unraid OS Change the following device id(s), where 0000:0000, 0001:0001 are your device ids. To add more than these two just add another comma following the last device id. If you can't find your device id(s), post your IOMMU groupings and I'll take a look. append vfio-pci.ids=0000:0000,0001:0001 initrd=/bzroot

Update on the Monitor to Headset situation. While the HDMI audio is working fine on Windows 10, on macOS High Sierra it does not seem to want to function. I've tried installing several kexts with no luck.

Could you post any logs if possible? Aswell, when the issue occurs could you take notice of the CPU usage? I was having a similar issue but not with a soundcard and when it happened the CPU usage on a single core spiked to a fixed 100%

Just tried the MSI fix on Windows 10. I checked all listed devices and clicked apply, restarting the VM and making no difference to the issue. With the headset connected to the PCIE USB card it still disconnects and when passing the headset through libvirt it is still crackling. Any other idea's while I wait for the sonnet card to come? Edit 1: I just tried the HDMI audio and it appears to be working fine but the headset audio is still garbled on both methods. Edit 2: The Astro A50 has a AUX connector on it and aswell does my monitor. I connected an AUX cord from my headset to my monitor and now I have flawless audio working.. sweet. Doesn't do much about the microphone however.

Just giving an update where I'm at. I've yet to try the MSI fix on Windows but I'm adamant on getting it working for MacOS High Sierra. I've played around with different kext's to no avail at this stage. So, I have ordered this PCIE USB card. Will provide further updates once it arrives.

I've just found this thread for anyone stumbling onto this in the future. The person is describing my experiences. While he doesn't specify what PCIE USB card he's using, I'm guessing it might be the same as mine. So I'm going to order a new PCIE USB card and see how that goes. Will update when I know more.

It looks like that is for passing through an actual sound card if I'm not mistaken, I'm trying to get audio to work on my on my Astro A50, which is a headset. I'm not really sure how it works but I'll give it a go.
