CentOS - Jun 2020 - virt-manager guest and sound

I am running C7 host and pulse audio. I have a Win 10 guest with ICH9
audio. It works - but I hear artifacts. Anything to do to help audio be
flawless under guest VM ?
Currently I was just on youtube and playing a song. nothing special.

Plenty of resources on the host. The guest has 8G ram and 8 CPU.

Thanks

Jerry

I've experienced this as well, and haven't really dug into it, since my 
main pro audio production tools (Harrison Mixbus and Mixbus32C) are 
Linux-native.? I do have Celemony Melodyne on Windows, but I haven't 
used it heavily enough in virtualization to notice.? I may take a look 
at it soon, if I need Melodyne badly enough in the near future, but 
since upgrading to CentOS 8 this week I have plenty of other things to 
keep me busy.

Just a personal note here, not at all difinitive:

I used to have a Windows 10 VM in Virtualbox (on Centos-7) and the
Windows sound sucked. Garbled, distorted, and lots of added noise. Does
that seem to be anything like the described "artifacts" ??

I'd guess it's some general issue with Win10 sound, and that MS
doesn't "love Linux" enough to actually make it workd in a VM.
They probably want you to run Linux in a VM on windows, not the
other way around.
