LiableLlama Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 (edited) So I've been having issues with audio for a while now. I have a PCI USB 3.0 card passed through to my VM and when I connect my Astro A50 or G933 headset it will initially work but will start to drop out. In MacOS it requires me to restart the VM while in Windows I only need to unplug and plug the device back in. I've tried assigning different CPUs changing the CPU pinning. Not passing through the USB controller and just using the libvirt hot plugging plugin makes the sound all crackly for both headsets. My system specs are as follows: Motherboard: ASUS ROG Maximus XI Hero CPU: Intel Core i9 9900k RAM: 32GB Orico USB 3.0 5-Port PCI-E Expansion Card IOMMU: IOMMU group 0: [8086:3e30] 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 8th Gen Core 8-core Desktop Processor Host Bridge/DRAM Registers [Coffee Lake S] (rev 0a) IOMMU group 1: [8086:1901] 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v5/E3-1500 v5/6th Gen Core Processor PCIe Controller (x16) (rev 0a) [10de:128b] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK208B [GeForce GT 710] (rev a1) [10de:0e0f] 01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GK208 HDMI/DP Audio Controller (rev a1) IOMMU group 2: [8086:3e98] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation UHD Graphics 630 (Desktop 9 Series) IOMMU group 3: [8086:a36d] 00:14.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation Cannon Lake PCH USB 3.1 xHCI Host Controller (rev 10) [8086:a36f] 00:14.2 RAM memory: Intel Corporation Cannon Lake PCH Shared SRAM (rev 10) IOMMU group 4: [8086:a360] 00:16.0 Communication controller: Intel Corporation Cannon Lake PCH HECI Controller (rev 10) IOMMU group 5: [8086:a352] 00:17.0 SATA controller: Intel Corporation Cannon Lake PCH SATA AHCI Controller (rev 10) IOMMU group 6: [8086:a340] 00:1b.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Cannon Lake PCH PCI Express Root Port #17 (rev f0) IOMMU group 7: [8086:a32c] 00:1b.4 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Cannon Lake PCH PCI Express Root Port #21 (rev f0) IOMMU group 8: [8086:a338] 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Cannon Lake PCH PCI Express Root Port #1 (rev f0) IOMMU group 9: [8086:a33d] 00:1c.5 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Cannon Lake PCH PCI Express Root Port #6 (rev f0) IOMMU group 10: [8086:a33e] 00:1c.6 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Cannon Lake PCH PCI Express Root Port #7 (rev f0) IOMMU group 11: [8086:a330] 00:1d.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Cannon Lake PCH PCI Express Root Port #9 (rev f0) IOMMU group 12: [8086:a305] 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation Z390 Chipset LPC/eSPI Controller (rev 10) [8086:a348] 00:1f.3 Audio device: Intel Corporation Cannon Lake PCH cAVS (rev 10) [8086:a323] 00:1f.4 SMBus: Intel Corporation Cannon Lake PCH SMBus Controller (rev 10) [8086:a324] 00:1f.5 Serial bus controller [0c80]: Intel Corporation Cannon Lake PCH SPI Controller (rev 10) [8086:15bc] 00:1f.6 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection (7) I219-V (rev 10) IOMMU group 13: [144d:a804] 03:00.0 Non-Volatile memory controller: Samsung Electronics Co Ltd NVMe SSD Controller SM961/PM961 IOMMU group 14: [1b4b:9130] 05:00.0 SATA controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88SE9128 PCIe SATA 6 Gb/s RAID controller with HyperDuo (rev 11) IOMMU group 15: [1106:3483] 06:00.0 USB controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.

bastl Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 (edited) Sounds like a power saving issue in your VM. Set your power plan to high performance in the VM and try again. Windows on default powers down unused devices after a while to save energy. USB devices and harddrives are goin to a "sleep" state and can cause that issue. Connected devices like USB thumbdrives or hdds rarely have issues with this, but some USB splitters or external sound devices won't wake up again.

Thanks for the reply Bastl, I've already thought of that. I've tried disabling power saving features and changing settings like selective power or whatever it's called and that has had no luck. I'd be happy with getting the passthrough USB from libvirt working since that seems to be the only thing that doesn't cause that to happen. Quote Link to comment
bastl Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 (edited) For crackling sound, mostly happens on GPU passthrough with HDMI audio there is a fix. Search for "MSI util" in the forums or for crackling sound fix and you will find the tool. I don't know if there is a solution for MacOS, but that tool works for windows just fine.

It looks like that is for passing through an actual sound card if I'm not mistaken, I'm trying to get audio to work on my on my Astro A50, which is a headset. I'm not really sure how it works but I'll give it a go. Quote Link to comment
LiableLlama Posted July 19, 2019 Author Share Posted July 19, 2019 I've just found this thread for anyone stumbling onto this in the future. The person is describing my experiences. While he doesn't specify what PCIE USB card he's using, I'm guessing it might be the same as mine. So I'm going to order a new PCIE USB card and see how that goes. Will update when I know more.

bastl Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Try the MSI_util on the passed through controller. It's a a PCI device and should work the same way as with a PCI audio device. Maybe that fixes it for you. Quote Link to comment
LiableLlama Posted July 21, 2019 Author Share Posted July 21, 2019 Just giving an update where I'm at. I've yet to try the MSI fix on Windows but I'm adamant on getting it working for MacOS High Sierra. I've played around with different kext's to no avail at this stage. So, I have ordered this PCIE USB card. Will provide further updates once it arrives. Quote Link to comment

I checked all listed devices and clicked apply, restarting the VM and making no difference to the issue. With the headset connected to the PCIE USB card it still disconnects and when passing the headset through libvirt it is still crackling. Any other idea's while I wait for the sonnet card to come? Edit 1: I just tried the HDMI audio and it appears to be working fine but the headset audio is still garbled on both methods. Edit 2: The Astro A50 has a AUX connector on it and aswell does my monitor. I connected an AUX cord from my headset to my monitor and now I have flawless audio working.. sweet. Doesn't do much about the microphone however. Edited July 21, 2019 by LiableLlama Monitor -> Headset Quote Link to comment
LiableLlama Posted July 21, 2019 Author Share Posted July 21, 2019 Update on the Monitor to Headset situation. While the HDMI audio is working fine on Windows 10, on macOS High Sierra it does not seem to want to function. I've tried installing several kexts with no luck. Quote Link to comment
LiableLlama Posted July 24, 2019 Author Share Posted July 24, 2019 (edited) Final update! Ordered this Allegro USB 3.0 PCIe 4-Port (USB 3.0 Card) to replace my ORICO PCIE to USB 3.0 5-Port PCIE Card. (Aswell as this MSI Gaming Radeon RX 560 128-bit 4GB GDDR5, ***LINK IS FOR OC VERSION, I DID NOT PURCHASE THE OC VERSION***) After plugging it in and assigning the PCIe card and GPU to my MacOS Mojave 10.14.5 VM, had to perform these series of steps as I was getting distorted video: Start the VM, spamming the Escape key Enter OVMF Platform Configuration > Device Manager Change the resolution to something other than the desired resolution Press F10 and answer with Y Enter Commit changes and exit Press Continue In the Unraid webui press Force Stop on your macOS VM Start the VM again, once again spamming the Escape key Enter OVMF Platform Configuration > Device Manager Change the resolution to your desired resolution Press F10 and answer with Y Enter Commit changes and exit Press Continue Once again, Force Stop your macOS VM Start it again and once it fully boots into your image it should work fine. After that, Mojave booted as normal with it already detected my keyboard, mouse and headset from the USB PCIe card and have been using it for several hours now!
