[vfio-users] Some questions.

[Okky Hendriansyah]

Hi Eddie, 

I looked at Linux KVM’s page on Sound section [1], and since I didn’t like the sound coming from -soundhw hda I looked for alternatives there. Although in that page the -soundhw ac97 (Intel 82801AA AC97) should work using Windows 7’s built-in driver, it didn’t work for Windows 10 apparently. So instead I googled for Intel 82801AA AC97 and after several trials the ones from [2] that worked for me. The installer packages from [2] is similar to what Realtek site has, but I didn’t try it first in my case. My Windows 10 guest is a 64-bit one. Have you tried it?

I don't know, because this is my first time trying to use audio. Before that, I using my VM without audio.
And I'm still investigating how to install pulseaduio and how to enable it in virt-manager.

as far as I know, there are no drivers for x64 versions of windows. That's y you should use hda. Doesn't hda work with pulse?

After several trials, I end up switching to ac97 with Alsa backend, which makes the sound more stable now. I need to install the driver for ac97, kind of forgot where I downloaded it from, but I think it was from here https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/8198/Audio-Realtek-AC97-Audio-Driver
