VM problem Threadripper 1950X win10 no audio, ubuntu stutter


Recommended Posts

am totally new to VM and stuff like that.

i have got some problem with my VM's, Windows10 working fine but there is no sound, i have pass trough the sound to the gpu (AMD readon RX570) video working fine, but the sound gives problems:  when i test the sounds device in windows it says that is already in use by a application?

 

the another problem:

The Ubuntu VM works fine with sound pass trough the GPU, but is has some stutters playing a Youtube video isn't really fine. its stutters only on screen, sound no problem...#Do i did something wrong?

 

i did add to syslinux file:

pcie_aspm=off (if not it fills the log with errors)

and:

vfio_iommu_type1.allow_unsafe_interrupts=1 (i don't remember the error codes :/ )

i also change in the Ubuntu VM from Q35 to i440FX-2.11, this because when turn off the VM its kills the GPU (d3 error) only a reboot works, now that works...

 

someone had suggestion?

(it is possible is didn't use the right search terms on Google...

I found out that if i pass through less cores/threats to the Ubuntu VM, Ubuntu stutter/lag less.... But i have 32 Threads ??? i want to use the cpu fully.

In Win10 i can pass as much thread to it, it still stays strong, but still no audio... i just reset win10 to a fresh one, now there is no connected sound devices connected,  while it see in device manager the AMD sound devices wit no problems...

 

maybe a vbios dump of the gpu will do something more?

 

yea of course.

a update:

Tried to play some games on the UbuntuVM, tried Tomb raider 2013 and Life is strange. Bold games wher set on ultra setting @1440p. no lags no stutters, just perfect.

found out that the problem is in Firefox...

so, now am doing to search on firefox lags/stutters...

Another update:

reset win10 to fresh install again, still no working audio. then boot in safe mode and run DDU (dislpay driver unistall) that was the trick! after removing everything and let windows search for the driver, did fix it!

 

for UbuntuVM i installed Chromium, not a real fix, but no i can browser the interweb without stutter. Hope that someday firefox will work probably.

 

 

edit: well thats wasn't done, found out that the GPU wasn't on it real performance, so update only the GPU driver, thats did alkso update the sound what i didn't want, so after some search i blocked windows from auto upgrading the drivers, that didn't work. so then i found that it can block driver update form a specific device. That was the real trick... now i hope it wont break again...

 

edit2:

wel... what is windows just a sh#t! os. after reboot/shutdown the audio stips working again. blocked windows compleely of updating drivers and stil it braking it...
