Soundcard checkbox is thicked by default for Windows 7 64bit VM in Console tab of VM options, but once a user unthick this select box, start and stop VM and again thick the checkbox and start VM, VM is then started with AC97 sound card.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
is10

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create Vm with Windows 7 64 OS type.
2. Start Vm with soundcard checkbox thicked and stop VM.
3. Unthick soundcard checkbox, start and stop VM
4. Thick the checkbox again and start VM

Actual results:

Expected results:
Intel HDMA sound card emulated

One more observation:
AC97 is used directly when choosing RHEL6 x64 type of OS, AC97 should be used with only WinXP as default and maybe with "Other" type.

BTW did verify that its working when changing the osinfo configuration to ich6?

I have no idea what osinfo configuration with value ich6 is and where (in RHEV Portals) I can find it.

Comment 4 Roy Golan 2013-09-16 13:29:20 UTC
I see qemu-kvm has devices the engine don't expose and it doesn't specify 'ich6' as a supported emulted device

[root@cube ~]# qemu-kvm --soundhw ?
Valid sound card names (comma separated):

pcspk       PC speaker
sb16        Creative Sound Blaster 16
ac97        Intel 82801AA AC97 Audio
es1370      ENSONIQ AudioPCI ES1370
hda         Intel HD Audio


engine has ac97 and ich6.
1. does this mean ich6 isn't supported at all or just hidden from the list?
2. can you help revisit the supported audio devices/OS[1]?

re: 1. ich6 is a controller/driver of Intel HD audio definition afaik so I assume under ich6, hda type sound card will be emulated (hda-intel device added to qemu cli).

re: 2. I am not able to access the link, I get 404. But in:
http://gerrit.ovirt.org/gitweb?p=ovirt-engine.git;a=blob_plain;f=packaging/conf/osinfo-defaults.properties;hb=refs/heads/ovirt-engine-3.3 I can see various wrong values:

AS talked to mskrivanek:
RHEL3,4,5 should have AC97, WInXP, 2003 (both 32 and 64) should have AC97 as well, The rest newer Windows and RHELs, should have ich6, The Other variants should be kept as They were, I guesss ich6.
