Is Intel Quick Sync supported under Hyper-V virtual machines? I can't seem to find an exact answer.
 
It is not. Intel Quicksync utilizes the Intel Media SDK which cannot be passed through to the VM.
IMSDK / Quick Sync with virtual machines

The virtual hardware as a rule is generalized, so if it's not a standard CPU extension it will not be supported within the VM. You can pass through GPUs to VMs in VMWare, but not the CPU and not in Hyper-V.

Hyper-V even goes to a further extent with GPUs and actually creates a generalized virtual GPU that calls back to the hardware GPU. So, on this front, you cannot even do direct GPU pass through in Hyper-V.
 
Same reason you can't do CUDA in a VM. It's adding too many hoops to get to the host hardware. The application needs to be able to directly access the underlying hardware, which kills any notion of virtualization. Even if there were a "magic" driver that allowed it, I'm not so certain it would lead to nominal performance, which is the whole point in the first place.
