This isn't a Spice problem, it's a driver issue in Windows7. None of the devices we (used to) emulate in KVM have drivers on the out of box media for Windows 7 64bit. If you google enough you'll find a es1370 driver for Visa/64 that works on Win7, but it's not WHQL signed so you have to go through the a dance to install it. Upstream in KVM (available in RHEL6.1 beta + Fedora 15) we have added a new soundcard Intel ICH6 that works out of the box with Win7. > When starting Spice Server, we are specifying "-soundhw AC97" option > > > I have read in some forums that Qemu-kvm supports the following sound > cards other than AC 97. > pcspk PC speaker – not all VM guests supports (read in some forum). > sb16 Creative Sound Blaster 16. es1370 ENSONIQ AudioPCI ES1370 – > windows 7 recognizes this but frequent driver crashes(read in some > forum). > I read in some forums that Audio would not work in > 64-bit Windows7 even we specified above sound card names.
