Check your DPC latency, it is one of causes for cracking sound. This is exact reason i stopped using vga passthrough for gaming.. On 2016.06.09 10:07, Abdulla Bubshait wrote: > I am not the only one who has this issue, but if you emulate an audio > card you end up with occasional crackling audio o

I use emulated GPU for booting. Trick is to only use screen provided by real GPU. Right-click desktop, go to "screen resolution", there you can select to use only one display and which one is to be used. Then windows will use emulated GPU for booting and switch to passed-through one after boot. On

I dont think there is anything special you need to configure on qemu side. Its just two pci devices passed-through. My guess is it should work just fine. On 2016.01.11 11:49, thibaut noah wrote: > Hello guys, sorry to bother you with this silly question. > Since i wanna to be able to play in 4k i

Save xml to some location other than /etc/libvirt/.. and do all the commenting/uncommenting there. virsh define /path/to/vm.xml to use modified xml. You indeed are going the wrong direction.

You can (even should) use intel hd graphics for host while passing-through pci-e gpu. Any CPU with virtualisation extensions (vt-x/vt-d) should work. Some motherboards may not fully support all requirements for passthrough though. To be sure of hardware compatibility you should look up what hardwa
