I am with archlinux and I launch libivirtd with systemctl so the explanations are for this way to launch libvirtd There is two options to uncomment in the file /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf uncomment the following lines and be sure to put them equal to 1: <blockquote>vnc_allow_host_audio = 1 </blockquote> and further down <blockquote>nographics_allow_host_audio = 1 </blockquote> This options will stop libvirt to set up QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=none but to export the environment variable you need to change another file edit the file: /usr/lib/systemd/system/libvirtd.service and under the [Service] section add the linde Environment=export QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=alsa If you check your log in /var/log/libvirt/qemu/yourdomain.log you should see that the environment variable is activate. However, as said, I face others issues now: <blockquote>Home directory not accessible: Permission denied ALSA lib confmisc.c:768:(parse_card) cannot find card '0' ALSA lib conf.c:4292:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_card_driver returned error: No such file or directory ALSA lib confmisc.c:392:(snd_func_concat) error evaluating strings ALSA lib conf.c:4292:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_concat returned error: No such file or directory ALSA lib confmisc.c:1251:(snd_func_refer) error evaluating name ALSA lib conf.c:4292:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer returned error: No such file or directory ALSA lib conf.c:4771:(snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: No such file or directory ALSA lib pcm.c:2266:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM sysdefault alsa: Could not initialize ADC alsa: Failed to open `default': alsa: Reason: No such file or directory audio: Failed to create voice `ac97.pi' </blockquote> So I don't know if it is linked to the way I export the variable or not. I haven't check that but I thought you may want to know how to do it. Regards.

Thank you very much </div> </div> </blockquote> </div> Hi Feadurn, That was one of my reasons I haven’t migrate all my QEMU script to libvirt. I had issues enabling the host audio like I use in my plain QEMU script. If you’re using Alex’ wrapper script way [1], probably you can regex replace it with ALSA. I never tried myself though. Reading the description, # By default, if no graphical front end is configured, libvirt will disable # QEMU audio output since directly talking to alsa/pulseaudio may not work # with various security settings. If you know what you're doing, enable # the setting below and libvirt will passthrough the QEMU_AUDIO_DRV # environment variable when using nographics. I think that option is worth to try. Thanks for pointing this.
