Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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.
Description of problem:
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
# uname -r
2.6.32-118.el6.x86_64
# rpm -q qemu-kvm
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.148.el6.x86_64
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1./usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -soundhw ?
Actual results:
# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -soundhw ?
Valid sound card names (comma separated):
pcspk PC speaker
ac97 Intel 82801AA AC97 Audio
es1370 ENSONIQ AudioPCI ES1370
-soundhw all will enable all of the above
Expected results:
intel-hda should in the list
Additional info:
The patch doing the windup for '-soundhw hda' was not backported to RHEL, so the output is actually correct. Using the -device switch is the recommended way to create the device (libvirt does it this way).
I don't see a strong reason why -soundhw should be supported in RHEL.
If there is one please reopen and explain.
Hi, Gerd
# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm --help|grep sound
-soundhw c1,... enable audio support
and only specified sound cards (comma separated list)
use -soundhw ? to get the list of supported cards
use -soundhw all to enable all of them
if the command is not supported , should it remove from help doc ?
I don't think this is worth the trouble.
Invoking qemu-kvm directly isn't supported, only via management (i.e. libvirt).
You are not supposed to see the help output in the first place ;)
