Abstract
Systems and methods for virtualizing audio decoding hardware of a guest audio decoder are disclosed. A method may include storing received encoded audio in main memory of a host computing device. An operation to access a register or memory of the audio decoding hardware of the guest audio decoder may be intercepted. The register or memory has an associated address in the main memory of the host computing device. The intercepted operation can include a register WRITE operation, and can be translated into an operation associated with accessing dedicated decoder memory of a host audio decoder of the host computing device.
