Nem Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 I'm planning on running steamOS in a VM, but I don't have a pcie graphics or sound card, both are on either the cpu or the motherboard I tried setting up a VM to pass both through but no options show up when setting it up Does passthrough not allow for onboard video/sound? My motherboard: asus h87i-plus cpu: intel pentium g3220 Eventually I'm planning on purchasing an nvidia pcie graphics card, which I should be able to pass through, but planning on still using onboard sound. If sound doesn't work at this stage, I guess it wouldn't work in the future either? Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 No iGPU passthru. I think you should be able to get sound though. See search tips in my sig. Quote Link to comment
Nem Posted November 8, 2015 Author Share Posted November 8, 2015 I couldnt find anything on the forum regarding motherboard sound If I were to purchase a gpu with a hdmi output, and I pass that through to the VM, will I automatically get sound via hdmi on the graphics card, without having to explicitly pass through a separate sound card?

slizz Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Almost all modern GPUs can process sound and pass through HDMI. Quote Link to comment
