I have bought a new computer, and although I was informed that it was not tested for Linux I bought it anyway. Linux works fine, but there is a problem I have come across when using Virtualbox VMs.

Audio and video are sometimes distorted (usually by going much faster), but sometimes not. On the host, the only similar issue is that audio very rarely has an echo of the previous second. Apart from that, there are no issues.

Are there any major settings that I can play with to see if I can solve these issues?
