I am using pulseaudio and it works out of the box for everything else except having the sound from the vm. I reinstalled pulseaudio and pulseaudio-alsa to be sure I have a clean install I follow the guide here <a href="https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio#QEMU"><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio#QEMU">https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio#QEMU</a></a> When I run the command <pre> qemu-system-x86_64 -audio-help | awk '/Name: pa/' RS= </pre> I get <blockquote><samp>Name: pa</samp><samp></samp> <samp></samp><samp>Description: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.pulseaudio.org/">http://www.pulseaudio.org/</a></samp><samp></samp> <samp></samp><samp>Theoretically supports many playback voices</samp><samp></samp> <samp></samp><samp>Theoretically supports many capture voices</samp><samp></samp> <samp></samp><samp>Options:</samp><samp></samp> <samp></samp><samp> QEMU_PA_SAMPLES: integer, default = 4096</samp><samp></samp> <samp></samp><samp> buffer size in samples</samp><samp></samp> <samp></samp><samp> QEMU_PA_SERVER: string, default = (not set)</samp><samp></samp> <samp></samp><samp> server address</samp><samp></samp> <samp></samp><samp> QEMU_PA_SINK: string, default = (not set)</samp><samp></samp> <samp></samp><samp> sink device name</samp><samp></samp> <samp></samp><samp> QEMU_PA_SOURCE: string, default = (not set)</samp><samp></samp> <samp></samp><samp> source device name</samp> </blockquote> Then I add in my xml the following options <blockquote><samp> <qemu:commandline></samp><samp></samp> <samp></samp><samp> <qemu:env name='QEMU_AUDIO_DRV' value='pa'/></samp><samp></samp> <samp></samp><samp> <qemu:env name='QEMU_PA_SINK' value='alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo'/></samp><samp></samp> <samp></samp><samp> <qemu:env name='QEMU_PA_SOURCE' value='input'/></samp><samp></samp> <samp></samp><samp> </qemu:commandline></samp> </blockquote> The value of QEMU_PA_SINK is obtained with the command <samp> pacmd list-sinks | grep -e 'name:' -e 'index'</samp> In qemu.conf I uncomment the following options <blockquote><code>vnc_allow_host_audio = 1 nographics_allow_host_audio = 1</code><code> </code></blockquote> <code></code><code></code>The only weird thing about my configuration is that I started to use libvirt as root user. I then switch to be able to use it as user. However myy vm is still on the root system but I can launch it as user without password (I didn't find the way to move the vm to the qemu user-session) When I launch the VM I don't have sound (even in the vm everything works with the AC97 installed on win10 64) and I get the following output: <samp> </samp> <blockquote><samp>pulseaudio: pa_context_connect() failed</samp><samp></samp> <samp></samp><samp>pulseaudio: Reason: Connection refused</samp><samp></samp> <samp></samp><samp>pulseaudio: Failed to initialize PA contextaudio: Could not init `pa' audio driver</samp><samp></samp> <samp></samp><samp>pulseaudio: pa_context_connect() failed</samp><samp></samp> <samp></samp><samp>pulseaudio: Reason: Connection refused</samp><samp></samp> <samp></samp><samp>pulseaudio: Failed to initialize PA contextaudio: Could not init `pa' audio driver</samp><samp></samp> <samp></samp><samp>alsa: Could not initialize ADC</samp><samp></samp> <samp></samp><samp>alsa: Failed to open `default':</samp><samp></samp> <samp></samp><samp>alsa: Reason: Device or resource busy</samp><samp></samp> <samp></samp><samp>alsa: Could not initialize ADC</samp><samp></samp> <samp></samp><samp>alsa: Failed to open `default':</samp><samp></samp> <samp></samp><samp>alsa: Reason: Device or resource busy</samp><samp></samp> <samp></samp><samp>audio: Failed to create voice `ac97.pi' </samp></blockquote> <samp></samp> <code></code>And I am lost there :( Thank you in advance for any help :) Feadurn </body> </html>
