<div dir="ltr">I am not the only one who has this issue, but if
you emulate an audio card you end up with occasional crackling
audio output, which is sometimes associated with drops in FPS. <br>
<br>
I know there are ways to pass audio devices to the VM directly,
but in many setups it would be preferable to pass the audio to
the host. <br>
<br>
Does anyone know the reason the audio has distortion or
crackling, and are there any known solutions to the problem?<br>
