OHCI#0: Lagging too far behind

Post by helge.tack »

Hello,

I experience a very bad sound quality on my Windows 7 guest using a Logitech PC 960 USB headset. The log file has lots of lines as following:

OHCI#0: Lagging too far behind, not trying to catch up anymore. Expect glitches with USB devices

Host:
- MacBook Pro 9,1, Mid 2012
- 2,7 GHz Intel Core i7
- 16 GB RAM 1600 MHz DDR3
- OX S Yosemite 10.10.4

Any idea how to solve this problem?

Regards,
Helge

Start by posting a compressed VBox.log for your guest. For more information see: Minimum information needed for assistance.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
Do NOT reply with the "QUOTE" button, please use the "POST REPLY", at the bottom of the form.
If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.

You could start by reducing the number of cores assigned to your guest from 6 to 2. Your CPU only has 4 to begin with.

There are three groups of people. Those that can count and those that can't.
