The guest's xml
(In reply to comment #2) > Created attachment 569354 [details] > The guest's xml <model type='cirrus' vram='9216' heads='1'/> You're not configured to use QXL This is probably a usage problem. SSH X forwarding does not forward sounds to the client. This has to be done by some other way (eg. use pulseaudio network streaming, which is not enabled by default). You might hear the sounds on the machine you are connecting to, but that depends on the configuration. The optimal solution would be to run the virt-manager or other spice client on your local computer and use the ssh connection support of libvirt to connect to the remote machine (this may need setting up ssh public key authentication) (use the uri qemu+ssh://user@host/system ). If you tried to configure remote sound, then you might just ran into troubles with pulseaudio as the error message states that the connection was refused. I am not sure pulseaudio is supposed to work after simple unpacking from box. Can you please try to configure it (maybe this will be useful http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User) and then reproduce?

I haven't been paying complete attention to the details here, but if that's what's going on here IMO this BZ can be closed as NOTABUG without further investigation. |
Description of problem: There is a guest with spice on the remote host. And can't get sound to work locally when connected the host remotely through ssh Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libvirt-0.9.10-4.el6.x86_64 qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.236.el6.x86_64 spice-server-0.10.1-3.el6.x86_64 spice-client-0.8.2-7.el6.x86_64 spice-gtk-0.11-1.el6.x86_64 spice-glib-0.11-1.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1.Prepare a guest with spice on remote host like this.The full xml is in attachment . --------------------------------------------------------------------- <channel type='spicevmc'> <target type='virtio' name='com.redhat.spice.0'/> <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='1'/> </channel> <sound model='es1370'> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x04' function='0x0'/> </sound> <graphics type='spice' autoport='yes'/> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2.Use ssh connect from local to the remove host #ssh root@$hostip -X 3.Open the virt-manager debug model then open the guest graphic in virt-manager. The log will be seen in terminal when the guest boots up or try to play some music in the guest. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- (virt-manager:5986): GSpice-WARNING **: PulseAudio context failed Connection refused (virt-manager:5986): GSpice-WARNING **: pa_context_connect() failed: Connection refused 2012-03-12 17:24:54,970 (cli:85): Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/console.py", line 481, in _channel_new_cb self.audio = spice.Audio(self.spice_session) RuntimeError: could not create SpiceAudio object None Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/console.py", line 481, in _channel_new_cb self.audio = spice.Audio(self.spice_session) RuntimeError: could not create SpiceAudio object ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Actual results: can't get the sound Expected results: can get the sound Additional info: 1.I test ich6 and ac97 sound device both in rhel6-x86_64 and win7-x86-64 guest 2.Because there is bug in spice-server-0.10.1-4 ,so i use spice-server-0.10.1-3 instead of.
