Hello,
I have one virtual machine - Windows 10 via Qemu. I use Virt manager to manage it. For over a year, audio and clipboard worked - I could play sounds from it and the clipboard was shared. I had it set up via Spice. I installed basic Spice tools on my Arch Linux host:
extra/ngspice 45.2-1
Mixed-level/Mixed-signal circuit simulator based on Spice3f5, Ciber1b1, and Xspice
extra/otf-monaspace-nerd 3.4.0-1 (nerd-fonts)
Patched font Monaspace (Monaspice) from nerd fonts library
extra/qemu-audio-spice 10.1.2-3 [installed]
QEMU spice audio driver
extra/qemu-chardev-spice 10.1.2-3 [installed]
QEMU spice chardev driver
extra/qemu-ui-spice-app 10.1.2-3 [installed]
QEMU spice app UI driver
extra/qemu-ui-spice-core 10.1.2-3 [installed]
QEMU spice core UI driver
extra/spice 0.16.0-2 [installed]
SPICE server
extra/spice-gtk 0.42-5 [installed]
GTK+ client library for SPICE
extra/spice-protocol 0.14.5-1 [installed]
Headers for SPICE protocol
extra/spice-up 1.9.1-3
Create simple and beautiful presentations
extra/spice-vdagent 0.23.0-1 [installed]
Spice agent for Linux guestsAnd also downloaded the spice-guest-tools installed from their site and installed in on windows. This setup has worked well for over a year and a half but broke recently. Does anyone know what can be the root cause and how to fix it. Thanks.

For starters, you don't need spice-vdagent on the host, spice-up has nothing to do with QEMU. I also noticed that your audio backend is not pointing to spice. Try changing
<audio id="1" type="none"/>to
<audio id='1' type='spice'/>Offline
Thank you, this managed to solve the audio issues. Clipboard worked for some moments yesterday but when I tried it now, it does not.

Have you updated any of the QEMU drivers recently? Do you have the latest VirtIO ISO? I use the aur/virtio-win package to get that ISO, it's directly available from https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/vi … io-win.iso

Yes, I have all the latest setup. Installed spice on my guest as I have shown + virtio win installed to my windows.
I have also update the spice guest tools and the clipboard is still not working.
Furthermore, I had a folder share which recently stopped working, so VirtIO is becoming a real mess in these days.
