September 28, 20169 yr Thanks to all the contribution in this forum I am able to run two gaming VMs on the following hardware specification. M/B: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. - Z170-A CPU: Intel® Core™ i3-6300 CPU @ 3.80GHz HVM: Enabled IOMMU: Enabled Cache: 64 kB, 512 kB, 4096 kB Memory: 24 GB (max. installable capacity 64 GB) Network: bond0: fault-tolerance (active-backup), mtu 1500 eth0: 1000 Mb/s, full duplex, mtu 1500 Kernel: Linux 4.4.19-unRAID x86_64 OpenSSL: 1.0.2h VM1 Windows 10 OVMF GTX 970 pass through Onboard USB controller pass through Onboard Audio pass through VM2 Windows 10 OVMF GTX1060 pass through USB3.0 PCIe card (USB Audio is used) pass through I have one problem on both VM which I suspect is due to the low performance processor i3. The audio for both VM (Regardless or running both at the same or just one) occasionally have cracking sound or it just when mute. After a while it will come back by itself and sound normally. I have trying solution like CPU pinning but it does not solve the problem.
October 6, 20169 yr Author After reading the MSI fix, it seems like that fix for HDMI audio. However, I did try the MSi fix on both of my VM and the VM2 which is using a usb DAC which still has the problem of audio cutting off randomly.
October 6, 20169 yr I had this issue yesterday and solved it by a combination of cpu pinning (correctly, make sure you get the cores matched right) and changing the Hz value in the windows preferences. Once fixed the drop, the other fixed the static. I also passed through the entire USB bus which was causing crashes.
October 7, 20169 yr Author I assume u r using a xeon cpu from what i know for me im using just an i3 6300 which is 2c4t. so guide mention about having one core for unraid and the rest is up to my decision. so apprently im left with one pathetic core. could this be the problem since no matter how i configure either one vm gonna share the core with either another vm or unraid.
