If the host driver doesn't work well with the iommu, you can often work around that with iommu=pt to enable passthrough mode. However, when that device is assigned to a VM, the guest driver can be completely iommu incompetent. I won't say there aren't devices out there that still manage to do the wrong thing, but I also don't think pci-e audio cards can be claimed to be a problem class of devices. It's news to me if they are. I would hope that any pci-e sound card with mainline kernel drivers does dma sufficiently correctly to work with an iommu. Most onboard and graphics card sound chips use snd_intel_hda on the host and work well with iommu, find a plugin card that uses that driver.
