+//Applies to Windows OS only//
 After I changed computer, I had problems with passing through USB devices from Windows host to guest, which I used before without problems on old computer. The behaviour was wierd - all devices were visible from guest dropdown menu, but when I tried to connect them, nothing happened, and on second try there was an error:

 After that USB pass through functionality should work as expected. If not, try to turn off USB 3.0 support in BIOS.

+__**Sound has distortions or it is slowed down in Linux guest**__
+This is caused by improper snd_intel8x0 clock detection. Try this:
+  - create file ///etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf//
+  - insert following content to it
+<code>
+options snd-intel8x0 ac97_clock=48000
+</code>
+Then reboot virtual machine. In some cases audio then works normally.
