Re: [vfio-users] Win 10 VM often freezes Linux when shutting down

I have to (cautiously) say that removing audio passthrough seems to help with this issue. I already had twice the number of restarts it usually takes to freeze it and it is still going strong. I always had it bound to vfio-pci and now I just removed the audio part from the shell script I use to sta

Alex, yeah, I know that x8 Gen3 is not really limiting the 750 Ti, but I plan to buy a new graphics card in some years and I am worried this will be the bottleneck for future GPUs. I am rebooting my host daily, so that sound issue should not be a problem. Regarding the host drivers binding to the G

You can assign it to the VM if you want, altho you don't need to, if you don't use HDMI audio. I never assigned it to the VM and VGA passthrough worked fine. I'm just saying, once you've bound vfio-pci to it, leave it assigned to the HDMI audio device. Unbinding vfio-pci from GPU audio frequently c

So, if I am not using virsh, would it be sufficient to just remove audio devices from my shell script that starts qemu? I am also not using them and just thought I need to pass them to make AMD drivers happy. I am happy with virtual audio provided by QEMU (and have multiple cards so wiring their au

I had a similar issue with the system. Turned out rebinding GPU audio caused some drama. The first time around I bind it to vfio-pci, then I leave it bound to that (since I don't use GPU audio to begin with). My issues went away. I can bind and unbind the nvidia driver as I please, but not the HDMI

I have the same mobo and CPU and I have a similar issue with AMD cards. I can go may be through 5-6 VM restarts before the host completely freezes. I thought it is called "AMD reset issue" but may be not considering that you have NVidia cards. For me it seems to matter what PCIE slot the card uses,

Hello guys! I have a Windows 10 VM with GPU passsthrough working for around 2 months now and while there were no problems in the very beginning as far as I can tell, soon after the VM started to freeze my Linux sometimes after I shut it down. The strange thing is that it does not happen every time
