Choppy Audio and Slow Flash Video in VirtualBox 5.1
| Reported by: | shek | Owned by: | |

Description
Host: Fedora 24 - 64-bit + Pulseaudio<br> Guest: Windows 10 - 64-bit <br> <br> Audio is choppy with sound artifacts. Am able to reproduce it on a couple of installations now on 2 different laptops. Very difficult to watch a video in VM<br> <br> Also, there is another problem which might be unrelated but flash videos on different sites hang while loading inside VM. Sometimes they even become slow.However, they instantly open on browsers outside the VM. In the 5.0 series I used to face flash videos becoming *slow* during playback(like 1 second on the flash video elapsing after 3 seconds in real). I didnt report it because a restart would fix the problem for many hours till it recurred. This problem seems to have been cured in 5.1 though.

I apologize for the garbled 'Description'. It seems the I used the wrong formatting tags. Here it is again:

The trouble is that this problem has many shades. Sometimes the crackle is light... at other times I'm barely able to listen and any videos that I need to watch are as good as useless. Also, like I pointed out, theres the video problem too - Videos on twitter and youtube play extremely slow(not always... but most of the times). I dont see many people reporting about Video but I have a hunch the root cause is the same.
