Comment 32 for bug 1580459

Well for now my issue is resolved. This morning when I was shutting down my unRaid server to blacklist the intel sound module, snd-hda-intel, I first stopped my ubuntu vm and my two dockers then logged out of unraid. I then proceeded to shutdown my Windows 10 VM and like magic it shutdown nicely without locking up the entire system. Also, I found out from unRaid tech support that the unRaid kernel does not include any sound modules and it was not necessary to blacklist them.

So this is what I have changed since the last lockup last Thursday night.

1. Removed the NVIDIA Audio hardware from the VM Setup. I did this because the sound was lagging horribly and I could not figure out how to fix it. So I removed the sound hardware and I am now using a USB sound card that is plugged into the USB3 PCI-Express card that is being passed to the VM.
2. I enabled MSI Interrupts on the GPU using this URL as my reference.

I should also mention that while I have the system NIC, USB1, and USB2 virtual modules mapped, they are disabled in the VM. I did this to improve latency issues inside the VM. I am using a wireless NIC plugged into the USB3 PCI-Express card and I do not require USB1 or USB2. These changes where made on Thursday prior to the last lockup, so while I do believe they have helped overall latency they had no effect on the system locking up.

USB3 card is handling Logitech G910 keyboard, WOW MMO Legendary Gaming Mouse, ASUS XONARU3 Sound Card, ASUS USB-AC56 Wireless NIC, and a USB Mouse.

I still would like to add the NVIDIA Sound card back into the VM and when I do I will enable MSI Interrupts. My goal is not not have to use the USB Sound card.
