erasmusfenris Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Just wanted to stop by and say that I was having audio static on my windows 10 VM's. After trying a bunch of fixes I eventually ran across an article from vmware that suggested turning up the bitrate on the audio device in question. TL:DR - Audio static can be resolved by increasing the bit rate. How to - 1. Right click audio in windows (bottom right) 2. Select "playback devices" 3. Select whatever your audio device is and right click to properties 4. Advanced tab increase the bitrate to atleast 16bit, 48000 Hz Windows 10 X99-UD3P I7-5820E DDR4-3000 Unraid 6 Note - First time posting so if this is in the wrong area or largely irrelevant let me know. 1 Quote Link to comment
jude Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 So did that completely fix your "static" problem. I had issues with sound quality that were fixed by switching to Message Signalled Interrupts (MSI). Could you post a link to the VMware article? Quote Link to comment

bungee91 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 @jude how did you switch to Message Signaled Interrupts(MSI)? Or use this (run as administrator), select audio, or GPU as needed. MSI_util.zip Quote Link to comment

Sure, here is the article http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2012007 It did fix it for me on both vm's with windows 10. One I did the MSI fix for and the other I did not, both were resolved by changing the default bit rate. Quote Link to comment
jude Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Thanks for the link I will try it out with a fresh Win10 VM. Quote Link to comment
