A first computing device is provided for optimizing motion of a pointer associated with a pointing device. The first computing device can include one or more processors configured to provide a first virtual machine. The first virtual machine can be configured to obtain at least one of a first attribute and a second attribute, relating to a display area, and determine, based on at least one of the first attribute and the second attribute, at least one of a first scaling factor and a second scaling factor. The first virtual machine can be further configured to optimize a motion of the pointer based on at least one of the first scaling factor and the second scaling factor, and provide information corresponding to the optimized motion of the pointer to the second virtual machine.

Method and system for maintaining aspect ratio on pointing devices

The present disclosure is directed towards methods and systems for virtualizing audio hardware for one or more virtual machines. A control virtual machine (VM) may translate a first stream of audio functions calls from a first VM hosted by a hypervisor. The translated first stream of audio function calls may be destined for a sound card of the computing device executing the hypervisor. The control VM may detect a second stream of audio functions calls from a second VM hosted by the hypervisor. The control VM may translate the second stream of audio functions calls from the second VM. The control VM may further merge the translated first stream of audio function calls and the translated second stream of the audio function calls in response to the detected second stream. The control VM may transmit the merged stream of audio function calls to the sound card.
