Hi Serge, To be more precise:
* rdesktop from the current workstation to a Windows VM on the current workstation connects correctly (rdesktop connects correctly) to PulseAudio on the current workstation. This allows the rdesktop user to hear the sound being produced by the Windows VM through PulseAudio via rdesktop. From this we know that PulseAudio on the current workstation is working correctly and that the sound system in the VM is producing sound. The problem is this: * KVM/QEMU contain a virtual sound card. This virtual hardware is supposed to be able to receive the sound from the VM and send it to the PulseAudio system. I have tried very hard to get that hardware to actually connect to PulseAudio via some combination of command line options - without success. The virtual sound card is in KVM/QEMU, there is some documentation on the many command line parameters that control it, there are many options intended to make it possible to use the feature on workstations with different sound system setups, the VM OS recognizes the different virtual devices that can be emulated - in short: everything looks good but doesn't work with PulseAudio. I was playing with this quite some time ago and my memory is fuzzy on details but I recall that the VM was able to connect directly to a sound system (ie: locking the hardware so that no other software can connect.) The problem was getting it to connect to PulseAudio so that, for example, I can hear the sound produced by the VM while listening to Amarok on the main workstation or while talking on my softphone. My thanks as always for the excellent work you guys are doing! All the best, Take care, Sam. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/575919 Title: no sound: pulseaudio connection refused -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
