Hi again,
With 4.3.2 I had problems listening to Spotify in my host while the VM (with GA 4.3.3) was running, but this seems all gone now with 4.3.3. No problem when starting, using, pausing, resuming and then finally exiting a VM.

Confused here... I'm guessing the comments are wrong but the names of the log files correctly indicate the VBox version, i.e. 4.3.2 (when you say 4.2.18) and 4.2.18 (when you say 4.1.18)?

With the logs from Allen_ASU, I see an improvement in the averages but not the maximums. I can't really tell which is "better".
Now here's the problem. On my machine, I can get a maximum latency of 8.5ms and a report that "your system appears to be having trouble handling real-time audio and other tasks" just by building VirtualBox, while VirtualBox itself isn't even running. Similarly on the first try of starting VirtualBox, I got a latency peak of 2.8ms, before any VM was started. When I started a Windows 7 VM with 2 VCPUs, the latency spiked at 4.5ms, which is bad but not nearly as bad as the latency incurred when building source code. The averages OTOH stayed low all the time.
The problem with the latency checking tools is that they don't (or can't) say what is responsible for the high latencies. When I was running VBox, I can't even say for sure if the DPC latency spike was caused by VBox or by whatever caused an even higher spike when building code.
I'll add that Allen_ASU's machine has much worse average latencies than Jonas H's despite being (admittedly an older/slower) Xeon.
So the real question is, does the 4.2.3 test build still cause music etc. to drop out where 4.2 did not?
