Virtual Box conflicts with ASIO on the host

Post by Markjt »

Hi,

I am running Virtual Box on a Windows 8.1 machine. I have an Echo Midi Mia soundcard for my home studio which runs ASIO drivers. If I am running a virtual machine, I get no sound from my card. In one program I can only select PDIF outputs not analogue (which is what I use). If I close the vm usually it all works again, but sometimes I have to restart the whole machine. I run my work PC in vm and like to listen to music at the same time, but VirtualBox won't let me. Anyone have any ideas?

You should notify the devs of this sort of thing, by raising a BugTracker ticket, after searching to see if one already exists.
