[Qemu-discuss] Stuttering/jerking sound/video

[Frans de Boer]

I use QEMU already some years for my VM's running servers and sometimes 
even Windows XP. The later is not a real pleasure but required because 
most video's are flash based and are not well handled under Linux. Then 
again I switch back to Linux/Lightspark because streaming video and 
sound is really horrible under QEMU/Windows XP.

My system is powerful enough (Quad core, 3.7 GHz, 8GB mem) but 
everything under QEMU/Windows XP is jerking and sound stuttering. I have 
never observed a smooth processing under QEMU/Windows XP Oh yes, I use 
the KVM but that does not help either. Also Virtio drivers are used 
where possible (block and network).

Any suggestion where I might look to let the Windows VM run more smoothly?

Regards,
Frans.
