As soon as I open the VM, if sound doesn't play at all on host anymore, and any attempt to play a video results the video lagging and freezing.
It appears as though the VM takes the host's ability to play media for itself, which is weird. As soon as the VM is closed, video playback works fine again on host.
Someone talked about a similar issue here, to which no proper solution was offered:
