Pablo,

I've also experienced the same issue with VMWare Player and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 
x86_64 on a quad core i7 with a USRP N210.  I've also tried Linux KVM to no 
avail.  I ended up creating a USB 3.0 flash drive for my SDR development 
environment which had no issues.  However, if you are interested in other 
applications running in a VM, Linux KVM could be an option for ethernet-based 
USRPs.

Hi Pablo -

Have you tried tuning the audio rate a bit? When you see the 'aU's, do you
also hear distortion in the audio?

Cheers,
Ben
