I've been using unraid for a few weeks now and after getting all the details sorted out, I decided to install a VM. I set up a windows VM and had everything working fine. I was hoping to get sound to pass through to Splashtop, so I stopped the VM went to edit the template and assigned the onboard sound controller, applied.

 

When I started the VM again, the entire system froze up. I could no longer even access the unraid GUI, or ping it's IP address. I wasn't sure what to do, so I ended up doing a hard shutdown. Everything came back up when I powered on again and the parity check began, which I expected. 

 

I'm hoping to get some help to figure out what went wrong and maybe something I should avoid doing in the future. I'm nervous to try and start up the VM and have this happen again. I especially don't like the 20 hours I have to wait for the parity check.

 

I opened the logs icon in the top right but it only went back so far and had nothing around the time of the crash.

 

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

 

Revert the change you did to the VM and see if it starts, if it does try again using the onboard sound and if it crashes that's the problem, then post the diagnostics.
