RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Moved based on reporter's own comment at [0] that "if I reconnect the VM with spice-gtk, I found they are lip-sync"

[0] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1203507#c38

Considering that bug 1203507 needs to be solved to have audio played correctly under windows (see [1]), I don't think Spice should be envolved at all before that.

Bug can be kept open to be tested after fix, IMHO.

Hmm.  windows guest and ac97.  I can't get that going, even with the already oldish Windows 7 (eol jan 2020) the system doesn't find a driver on windows update.

What version is this?

Is there any windows version which is still supported by microsoft and that actually comes with ac97 drivers?

You can install realtek ac97 driver in your windows guest manually.

> You can install realtek ac97 driver in your windows guest manually.

They are almost ten years old and only available for win7,
so that'll be a dead end soon enough.

Beside that I can play youtube videos just fine (yes, they are lip sync).
What audio backend you are using?

If I use ich6 audio backend, yes, they are lip sync. But It has sound problems, see Bug 1203507.

Thanks for taking the time to enter a bug report with us. We use reports like yours to keep improving the quality of our products and releases. That said, we're not able to guarantee the timeliness or suitability of a resolution for issues entered here because this is not a mechanism for requesting support.

If this issue is critical or in any way time sensitive, please raise a ticket through your regular Red Hat support channels to make certain it receives the proper attention and prioritization that will result in a timely resolution.

For information on how to contact the Red Hat production support team, please visit: https://www.redhat.com/support/process/production/#howto

I'm closing this BZ in RHEL7 because the correct fix involves changes which require a new machine type which will break live-migration. See bug 1203507 (RHEL-8).
