[RESOLVED] All sounds/videos play in slow motion

[comfox]

In my quest to conquer KVM I am once again in need of the communities help.

 

After some number of hours of running my Windows 10 VM all of my audio and video will play in slow motion.  Doesn't matter what application is making the sound or playing a video it is all in slow motion.

 

I haven't been able to pinpoint exactly how many hours after boot up this starts, but I generally find it the next day.

 

I do not use sleep, I simply have the monitor shut off.

 

Any ideas or thoughts?

 

Here is my VM XML

I am passing through both the audio and video of my nVidia GTX 970 as well as two USB 3.0 HDD's, a Razor keybord and a Logitech mouse.  I thought it might be a drive issue but I am using the most up to date drivers from nVidia.

 

I can fix this with a reboot of the VM but I would prefer not having to reboot my VM daily.

 

Thanks in advance!

Found the solution from another thread where JobP posted to a solution
