[SOLVED] No sound in VMs on top of qemu 1.3

Leonid.I · 2013-02-06 21:30:10

After replacing qemu-kvm with qemu 1.3.x, I can't get sound to work in my VMs. The devices are properly recognized inside VM, alsamixer shows all controls OK, but speaker-test doesn't produce any sound.

On the host, the sound works, so it's not a permissions issue. The guests are archlinux and archbang, all running systemd and polkit... There are no error messages in host logs or terminal which I use to call qemu (except the OSS complaints).

Does anyone have an idea how to investigate this further?

TIA.

With -soundhw ac97 it fails for me also, but with -soundhw es1370 i get sound.

Very strange. For me, all sound devices _appear_ work in a VM, except there is no sound... Can you tell how exactly you call qemu?.. Thanks.

Well, scratch that.

It turns out that I was stupid and forgot to set QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=alsa before calling qemu... Now the sound works
