I've got a gigabit connection and I want it to use as much as possible to provide the maximum user experience for my VDI users. Like I said, RDP uses 15Mbps which is fine and gives a great experience but my vdi solution requires spice protocol and to be used with virt viewer. </div><div class="qtdSeparateBR" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1476717889128_3300"><br></div><div class="qtdSeparateBR" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1476717889128_3300">Thanks for your help. </div><div class="qtdSeparateBR" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1476717889128_3300"><br></div><div class="yahoo_quoted" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1476717889128_3408" style="display: block;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1476717889128_3407"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1476717889128_3406"> <div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1476717889128_3405"> <font size="2" face="Arial" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1476717889128_3404"> <hr size="1" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1476717889128_3425"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">From:</span></b> Francois Gouget <fgouget@codeweavers.com><br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> Brad Wilson <bradwilsonstl@yahoo.com> <br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cc:</span></b> Victor Toso <lists@victortoso.com>; Frediano Ziglio <fziglio@redhat.com>; Spice Devel <spice-devel@lists.freedesktop.org><br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Monday, October 17, 2016 10:07 AM<br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Subject:</span></b> Re: [Spice-devel] Very poor video performance using Virt Viewer compared to RDP<br> </font> </div> <div class="y_msg_container" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1476717889128_3409"><br>On Mon, 17 Oct 2016, Brad Wilson wrote:<br clear="none"><br clear="none">> Ok, so I installed the AC97 audio drivers to fix my audio device in <br clear="none">> the guest vm.
