virt-manager - Error removing spice graphics

Hello,

I'm following this tutorial on single-gpu passthrough: https://gitlab.com/risingprismtv/single … wikis/home and i am at part 8 (https://gitlab.com/risingprismtv/single … to-your-VM) and it says:
"By default, the VM is created with a Display Spice device and a Video QXL device, which we both need to remove as they are not needed anymore. Simply select them, starting with the Display Spice, and click on "Remove".", and when i select "Remove" i get: "Error Removing Device: unsupported configuration: Spice audio is not supported without spice graphics", but i can't find spice audio anywhere. I also tried removing the xml blocks (like the tutorial said), but it throws an error.

What do i do? Any help will be appreciated.

In virt-manager, goto Edit, Preferences and tick Enable XML editing. Now goto the VM you want to configure. Click on Overview and then to the right select XML. Scroll down through the XML and you will see

 <channel type="spicevmc">
    <target type="virtio" name="com.redhat.spice.0"/>
    <address type="virtio-serial" controller="0" bus="0" port="1"/>
  </channel>

highlight the text and delete. Then look for rest according to the guide, delete then click apply.

Thanks for helping me. I must've not read that i should be in the 'Overview' tab when removing the xml blocks ("... greyed out, go in the Overview tab, in your XML, search for ..." - from the tutorial). Thanks again.
