Windows 10 VM vm audio problems


Recommended Posts

My Windows 10 vm audio suddenly stopped working. It makes demonic/crakling sounds when playing video. Usually if this happens i have to apply msi fix again, but this time its not working. Lspci shows that msi is enabled on both gpu and gpu sound. I have isolated the cpu cores that my vm is using. Gpu is only device on iommu group. I have applied spaceinvaderone's tweaks to windows 10 vm.

 

Things that i tried today since i noticed the issue:

  • Updated nvidia drivers to newest version
  • updated unraid to 6.6.7
  • installed another windows 10 vm to see if issue is present there. It is.

This leads me to belive that there is something wrong with my unraid system.

Help would be apprichiated. Vm xml:
