>From reading the VirtualBox site they had the same problem, that none of the emulated sound cards would work with 64bit Windows 7/2008 as they are all too old chipsets. They solved it by adding a new sound card to Virtual Box ('Intel HD Audio'). But appears this remains a compatibility 'bug' for kvm/qemu.
This bug has been marked invalid, however I don't think that is a sensible position; as the only viable fix can be a kvm/qemu change, as it seems unlikely anyone is going to write 64bit Windows drivers for the old unsupported chipsets that kvm/qemu provides. That is kinda like marking a bug about no VM IDE hard disk emulation support as invalid because the VM provides MFM hard disk emulation :-) Even emulated hardware need to keep up with technology. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/419182 Title: KVM and audio driver in Windows 7 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
