[Bug 591489] Re: QEMU_AUDIO_DRV set to none by libvirtd in Lucid

Seems like apparmor can be fixed without disabling it, at least in 12.10; Add these lines to /etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/libvirt-qemu: /{dev,run}/shm/pulse-shm* r, /{dev,run}/shm/pulse-shm* rwk, /usr/bin/pulseaudio Ux, @{HOME}/.pulse/ rwk, /etc/init.d/apparmor re

Instead of QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=alsa /usr/bin/kvm.bin $@ use QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=alsa exec /usr/bin/kvm.bin $@ also in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf # QEMU implements an extension for providing audio over a VNC connection, # though if your VNC client does not support it, your only chance for getting # sound outpu

Here's my dirty hack that enables local sound: cd /usr/bin mv kvm kvm.bin cat >kvm

[Bug 591489] Re: QEMU_AUDIO_DRV set to none by libvirtd in Lucid

I don't think that would improve things as much as one would expect. I think most people use virt-manager with VMs in the root QEMU instance rather than the per-user "QEMU Usermode" one (because it doesn't work well, as per bug 521428), so the VM process wouldn't be able to output any sound because

Since the VNC viewer does not support the audio extension, shouldn't we have an "easy" option to turn ON the QEMU_AUDIO_DRV to something - overriding the hardcoded behaviour to allow users to get sound till VNC viewer is fixed. -- QEMU_AUDIO_DRV set to none by libvirtd in Lucid https://bugs.launc

[Bug 591489] Re: QEMU_AUDIO_DRV set to none by libvirtd in Lucid

Changing to confirmed since the reporter has provided the requested information. I too am experiencing this bug. Looking at the libvirt source code, it specifies QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=none whenever using VNC for graphics. The comments say this is because it tunnels audio over the VNC connection.

OK, I have sound working. I manually launched the Windows 7 guest via command line, but changing the none to pa and I had audio. So now I will investigate as to how to ensure than libvirt respects the env. var. -- QEMU_AUDIO_DRV set to none by libvirtd in Lucid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/591

I also am encountering this bug, with all guests. I have looked for many hours for a resolution but nothing so far. However I can also say ALL guests: Windows 7 (32bit) Windows XP (32bit) OpenSUSE 11.2 (32bit) In the log files also show the AUDIO_DRV=none One additional thing I tried was to add

One additional comment - The VM is running 32-bit Windows 7, which does have a driver for the ac97 virtual sound card. This same VM *did* produce sound on Karmic and on Jaunty. -- QEMU_AUDIO_DRV set to none by libvirtd in Lucid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/591489 You received this bug notific

Certainly, but the complaint about sound not working for guests applies to *all* guests on the machine that have a VNC console. I have pasted a guest configuration that is a representative example. The guest configuration file is named: /etc/libvirt/qemu/windows7.xml Its contents are: window

Could you paste the libvirt configuration of guest that doesn't have the audio working? ** Changed in: libvirt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: libvirt (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- QEMU_AUDIO_DRV set to none by libvirtd in Lucid https://bugs.launchpad.net/
