Windows Forum / Virtual PC / May 2008Record voice problems
Hi, i'm trying to record voice from a microphone on a Vista Guest OS using the Sound Recorder/Camtasia Recorder. The result is a little choppy with some dropped frames here and there - definetely not good enough to share with anyone. On XP Guest i don't have this problem. What can i do? Thanks Use the one that works the best. The emulated hardware in a virtual machine is not ideal for what you are trying to do anyway so why not just use the host? > Hi, > i'm trying to record voice from a microphone on a Vista Guest OS using the [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > What can i do? > Thanks I would like to use a guest machine to record a screencast and have a system free of any custom configurations that i have done for my work, files, folder, video size, DPI, ecc.. I would like to use Vista for current work environment and to give satisfaction to Microsoft's developer :) ; above all, i would like to know why this behavior only on Vista! > Use the one that works the best.

Check the device manager in each. The reason is that the virtualization team picked the ISA version of the SoundBlaster 16 for emulation in VPC. Vista does not support ISA devices and therefore cannot detect the emulated SB, so when Vista came along the team developed a new sound device called the Microsoft Virtual Machine Audio Device. I suspect that the difference in performance lies in the differences between the emulated hardware and their drivers. How to address that I don't know, but there it is. >I would like to use a guest machine to record a screencast and have a >system free of any custom configurations that i have done for my work, [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] >>> What can i do? >>> Thanks >The answer is probably related to the fact that Vista vms and XP vms do not >use the same emulated sound device.

Not to mention that Vista is a bigger OS with more overhead, and so uses more CPU which affects the performance of emulated hardware like the sound card. Adding more RAM may help, as moving the Vista Vm to a separate hard drive, additionally, a faster multicore CPU will also help reduce the possibility of sound issues, but you can't escape it completely.
