Serge, Sorry, I should have provided more info. I'm running the Kubuntu variant and did a distribution upgrade from Karmic to Lucid, after which this problem started occurring.
Turns out I was sloppy in my checks, the pulseaudio package was not installed. I was thrown off by the fact /etc/init.d/pulseaudio existed and forgot to check package status. Sound works if I do one of two things: 1) Install pulseaudio 2) Override the driver, e.g. with: $ export QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=oss I'm not sure if pulseaudio was lost during the distribution upgrade or if it's not normally installed for Kubuntu and the default driver for kvm changed to it. All other programs were working fine without it, both KDE (e.g. Amarok) and non-KDE (e.g. Flash plugin in Firefox). It seems like Amarok is using phonon, I'm not sure about other programs. Probably irrelevant now, but I was using: kvm -hda /home/jake/vm_disks/windowsxp.img -m 1024 -vga std -no-frame -usb -usbdevice -localtime For testing, I was appending various -soundhw options, but used just es1370 for this report. -- no sound: pulseaudio connection refused https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/575919 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to qemu-kvm in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
