After doing a vm backup, I'm getting this error now. I compared this xml to one I had saved previously and they both match. I have lost audio on my vm.

 

**Edit** after shutting down the unraid server, doing a reboot. It seems oth ave sorted itself out

Okay, I'm getting this error again. I cannot make any changes to the VM without getting this error.

I still cannot get this to work. Anything I change kicks out this VM creation error.

This happens when using the gui, not xml editor. I can copy the xml to notepad, delete the VM(not image), recreate the VM with the saved xml code and it works fine. Why I'm asking is I've been putting off a motherboard/cpu swap. I'm sure the iommu goups will change.
