Windows 11 - Virtual Machine on Intel Mac

@aaronventure yes, do you have faust enabled?

[aaronventure]

@DanH yes

[DanH]

@aaronventure ok so one thing that is really slowing me down is that all my drives keep changing location / letter, so nothing is linking properly after a restart. So my Mac drive begins as, say, z:, but then becomes T/S/D whatever next time I turn it on! Have I set up parallels wrong do you think?

[DanH]

@DanH ok so moving Hise and my project to the C: drive has solved this. I can build the faust dll now.

Not ideal though as I would much prefer your system! Plus I've no idea how large the c: drive actually is....

[aaronventure]

@DanH Just make a symbolic link on the C drive, you don't have to move it.

The context extension won't install because it screams about it not being x64, so just use the command prompt to create a symlink

Although I have separate HISE sources on mac and on the windows VM.

For projects I just use the projects dir on the mac, that works fine.

[DanH]

@aaronventure ok so you have different HISE folders for OSX and Windows? If so where do you store the Windows one?

This is an intel machine so I may get away without the screaming

[aaronventure]

@DanH it's in the documents folder on the vm, on mac it's in the user directory.

I think what you're running into might be a permissions thing.

[DanH]

@aaronventure ok I'll have a deeper look at it all. Cheers for the help!

@Dan-Korneff Running UTM for over a month now. I have issues getting the audio interface to work and still have not tried MIDI inputs
I would have preferred to use Proxmox by seeing all the great things people are saying about, but it's not avail for ARM and probably won't be in a foreseeable future unfortunately...

I don't think ARM processors have enough cores to make a good Proxmox server.

The audio device issue is also present on Proxmox. My solution for the rare occasions I need to get audio out is a bluetooth headset, forwarding a bluetooth USB dongle directly to the MacOS VM.
