September 8, 201411 yr I use Casatunes (casatunes.com) for my whole house audio. I have their PCIe card and software running on Windows 7. I'm trying to virtualize this under a Windows VM in unraid. I tested passing my GPU through before pulling the sound card and putting it in unraid and that seemed to go well. Windows 7 recognized the video card and all seemed well so i pulled the PCIe card and tried it. I had installed the Xen PV drivers before starting this. (ejbpv_Vista2008x64_1.0.1100 specifically) I'm not seeing any audio devices in my VM though. If anyone has any idea what I might be doing wrong or can help troubleshoot I would appreciate it. The Xli card has a driver installation package that I did install/run after installing the PV drivers and setting everything up.

Do not pass through device 5, it is not necessary and not supported to pass through bridges. Also remove that pciback hide from your syslinux.cfg. not necessary in unraid.
September 9, 201411 yr Author Do not pass through device 5, it is not necessary and not supported to pass through bridges. Also remove that pciback hide from your syslinux.cfg. not necessary in unraid. First, thanks for the reply! I cleaned up syslinux.cfg and removed 5 from the Windows7.cfg file. Rebooted unraid and after that I got a message saying: libxl: error: libxl_pci.c:1055:libxl__device_pci_add: PCI device 0:6:0.0 is not assignable The error looks different than how 6 is defined in the .cfg file. Not sure if that's just reporting incorrectly or what. I put the pciback part in syslinux.cfg for just device 6 and rebooting trying again. The error is no longer there (right or wrong remains to be seen). I am still not seeing the device in device manager (no sound devices) even after reinstalling the card's drivers. Here's where pci-list sits. root@unraid:/var/log/xen# xl pci-list Windows7 Vdev Device 05.0 0000:06:00.0 root@unraid:/var/log/xen# xl pci-assignable-list root@unraid:/var/log/xen# root@unraid:/var/log/xen# lspci -vQ 06:00.0 Audio device: Creative Labs [sB X-Fi Xtreme Audio] CA0110-IBG Subsystem: Creative Labs SB1040 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 47 Memory at fe800000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 3 Kernel driver in use: pciback More digging...
