Doesn't reproduce. The *default* driver is changed to spice when spice is enabled, but overriding using QEMU_AUDIO_DRV is not disabled. Any chance you didn't export QEMU_AUDIO_DRV?

When -spice options are omitted, audio works as usual. I want to channel mouse and keyboard events to the guest using spice (with looking-glass) instead of a third-party product over a network interface (with synergy), but audio ends up over the spice protocol as well instead of using alsa despite asking otherwise. For example, one will only hear audio when a program like spicy is running. Naturally it would be nice if this were not needed, since spice audio is gappier than regular audio on my machine. Perhaps if -spice added an option similar to agent-mouse=off but for audio, (say audio-pipe=off or so for example,) this might mitigate the issue in a more naive fashion UX-wise, without having to force the issue with environment variables that unfortunately for me don't seem to work. :( QEMU emulator version 2.12.0 Commandline qemu-system-x86_64 \ -ctrl-grab \ -enable-kvm \ -cpu host,hv-time,kvm=off \ -smp cores=4 \ -m 8G \ -M q35 \ -vga none \ -netdev tap,id=hostnet,ifname=tap1,script=no,downscript=no \ -net nic,model=virtio,macaddr=52:54:FD:BF:F7:9A,netdev=hostnet \ -netdev user,id=usernet,smb=/media/DRIVE-C/tux/vms/share \ -net nic,model=virtio,macaddr=52:54:2E:40:4F:C8,netdev=usernet \ -usb \ -device usb-ehci,id=ehci \ -device ioh3420,bus=pcie.0,addr=1c,multifunction=on,port=1,chassis=1,id=root.1 \ -device vfio-pci,host=07:00.0,bus=root.1,addr=00.0,multifunction=on,x-vga=on \ -device ich9-intel-hda \ -device hda-micro \ -drive if=virtio,file=vm/win10/disk.img,media=disk \ -boot menu=on,splash=splash/boot.jpg,splash-time=5000 \ -name win10 \ -device ivshmem-plain,memdev=ivshmem \ -object memory-backend-file,id=ivshmem,share=on,mem-path=/dev/shm/looking-glass,size=32M \ -device virtio-serial-pci \ -device virtserialport,chardev=spicechannel0,name=com.redhat.spice.0 \ -chardev spicevmc,id=spicechannel0,name=vdagent \ -spice addr=127.0.0.1,port=5900,disable-ticketing When the last four options are not present, audio works as expected.
