I just had an… interesting experience. I have been trying to get my VM’s audio to pass through to the host, and while I achieved that, when I tried playing some music it just played at a faster speed (about 150% speed).
I’m currently using Manjaro 18.1.0 with kernel 5.3, virt-manager 2.2.0, libvirt 5.5.0 and qemu 4.1.0
I’m running a Ryzen 1700 on a Gigabyte x370 Gaming K7 motherboard.
Here’s my XML:
