Description of problem: I have made a virtual machine using virt-manager 0.8.2 in Fedora 12, 64 bit, which reports that it is using qemu as the hypervisor when I view the host details and kvm as the hypervisor and /usr/bin/qemu-kvm as the emulator with i686 as the emulated platform. I installed Vista Home Premium into this virtual machine. Although it reports that it sees the audio setup and reports that it is working correctly, I have no sound output from Vista. Sound is working fine for Fedora 12. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): virt-manager-0.8.2-1.fc12.noarch libvirt-0.7.1-15.fc12.x86_64 How reproducible: Seems to be very consistent. I have read on Fedora Forum that others have been experiencing this same problem Steps to Reproduce: 1. create virtual machine 2. install Vista Actual results: no sound output Expected results: should have sound output Additional info: uname -a Linux emerald.hhome 2.6.31.12-174.2.22.fc12.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Feb 19 18:55:03 UTC 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Hardware is HP Pavilion a1610n with 4 Gb RAM (dual-core AMD 64 Live processor)
Known issue, there are several bugs about this filed against libvirt. Pretty soon I'll be writing up instructions how to work around this. Duping to a libvirt bug for now. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 508317 ***
Cole - any pointer to your notes on how to work around this?
Making it work depends on some backport patches that aren't built yet (but I'll do it today, I swear :) Once that build is available, I'll write up notes in the duped bug.
Excellent, thanks Cole.
