The upgrade of qemu packages from 9.1.0-2 to 9.1.1-1 broke the audio output of my Ubuntu 24.04 guest machine. Audio is routed through spice using `virt-viewer` for interaction
The related virt-manager config for the audio device looks as follows
<sound model="ich9">
<address type="pci" domain="0x0000" bus="0x00" slot="0x1b" function="0x0"/>
</sound>
<audio id="1" type="spice"/>
After the upgrade no application is found to play sound on the host.
After downgrading all qemu packages to 9.1.0-2 and restarting the VM the `virt-viewer` application plays sound again
sudo pacman -U qemu-*9.1.0-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Posting because found no other issue and maybe someone knows something or somebody is helped by the info

Is there any indication that this is an Arch Linux specific issue? I think I would just report this upstream and see what they have to say about it ..

UP!
I have the same problem.
For audio from web stream I need to switch between virt-manager and spice viewer. The guest vm no play sounds anymore....

same problem here, downgrade to 9.1.0-2 and the audio is back (win 11 guest)

Same here. Windoze 11 guest. Lesson learned, this is the last time I update between meetings on lunch break :-P

Hello all, I've opened an upstream report for this: https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/2639. There's a discussion on the Looking Glass discord as well.

Same here. Looking at the looking glass output, audio output is set up correctly:
[I] 3854734111 audio.c:159 | audio_init | Using AudioDev: PipeWire
[I] 3854749441 ps.c:644 | ps_connectChannel | PLAYBACK channel connected
However, the moment I run anything that produces audio, it disconnects:
[I] 3861640088 channel.c:258 | channel_internal_disconnect | PLAYBACK channel disconnected
A superficial glance at their codebase and what has changed from 9.1.0-2 to 9.1.1-1 suggests that the addition of line 505 in hw/audio/hda-codec.c, function hda_audio_setup(), might be the culprit?
hda_close_stream(st->state, st);

Hi all,
same result installing newer version 9.1.1-2.
I'll make rollback again...

Since it wasn't linked here yet, there also is a discussion about this on the bugtracker: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/ … -/issues/7
Offline
It appears that the latest (9.1.2-1) qemu package resolves this issue.
