Access PCI / PCIe audio card in guest

Post by Radioman991 »

Hello:

Couldn't find anything when searching, so here it is.

I have a Windows 7 64 bit host which contains an Audioscience professional audio adapter. I need to be able to access this audio adapter from inside a Windows XP guest. The XP guest runs a legacy application that I support, and it needs to "think" this card is installed in its' physical machine.

Is this even possible? I am aware USB devices and CD drives can be "mounted" and accessed by guests.

Any assistance or direction will be appreciated.

Just a quick summary of the minimum requirements:
  1. It's experimental.
  2. Your host must support Intel VT-d or AMD AMD-Vi, both on the CPU and the motherboard.
  3. Recent Linux hosts only with IOMMU support.
More information on ch. 9.6 PCI passthrough of the User Manual.
