the sound begins to sizzle after a few minutes of listening

Post by abecidofugy »

Hello,

In a VM virtuabox with Windows 8.1 host and guest KDE Neon latest, I have the sound begins to sizzle after a few minutes of listening (10 or 15 minutes).

My parameters are:
Host Audio Driver: Windows Direct Sound
Audio Controller: ICH AC97
Virtualbox: Version 5.2.18 r124319 (Qt5.6.2)
Guest add-on: 5.2.18 installed

What can I do to solve this problem?

Thanks.

Sound is an ongoing battle. Newer versions include fixes and enhancements. Just search the forums for sound related issues...

See if changing the audio controller (after you've shutdown the VM) to "Intel HD Audio" changes things.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
