[Problem]: delay when using vmware and a homepod mini #1788
Comments
sorry forgot to change i installed shairport-sync by a package manager |
Thanks for the post, and apologies for the delay. If I understand your post properly, the problem is that the audio coming from Shairport Sync, running in Ubuntu 23.10 on a VMWare VM in a Windows 11 PC is about 0.8 seconds late and is out of sync with the audio coming from the source -- a HomePod mini. I have noticed that the audio coming from a VMWare VM is always delayed, usually be a few 10s to 100s of milliseconds, and I believe that it's a limitation of the virtualisation. That being the case, I'm afraid there isn't anything that can easily be done about it. |
Ok thank you for the response |
Thanks. It needs Linux or Unix, and I have never tried the Linux compatibility subsystem in Windows. Maybe someone else has? |
I tried the linux subsystem in wodws but coudn't get it to work... |
Thanks for the clarification. |
The problème there is with wsl is that it's pretty hard to connect your sound output to ubuntu. And that's the step i'm blocked at. |
Thanks. I’m away from computers until the end of the month, but after that I will experiment… |
I'll be happy to know if you've succeed. And if yes how you did it. |
Any news ? |
Apologies for the delay. It turns out that I don't have a machine that is capable of running Windows 11 with virtualisation, so I can't run |
Oh ok it's true that you must have a pretty recent machine to be able to run it. Still thanks for the response. |
Apologies again for the delay. Apparently VMWare Fusion doesn't support virtualisation on Apple Silicon either. 😕 |
WSL as well as VMWARE virtualize. Using both on the same host might be a cause for some performance issues and delays. |
Ok thanks i'll give it a shot this weekend |
