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 Xiaoli Tian 2011-03-11 05:54:03 UTC 
Description of problem
RHEL4.9  guest on RHEL6.1 AMD host can't play  sound  with VNC display,and can't record sound on both AMD host and Intel host.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Host:
kernel 2.6.32-118.el6
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.149.el6

Guest:
kernel-2.6.9-100-ELSMP

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start RHEL4.9 guest on a AMD host with cmdline:
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -m 2G -smp 2 -cpu cpu64-rhel6 -no-kvm-pit-reinjection -rtc base=utc,clock=host,driftfix=slew -usbdevice tablet -drive file=~/test/17480/RHEL4.9_64_qcow2_base,if=none,id=drive-virtio0,boot=on,werror=stop,rerror=stop,cache=none,format=qcow2 -device virtio-blk-pci,drive=drive-virtio0,id=virtio-blk-pci0 -netdev tap,id=hostnet0,script=/etc/qemu-ifup,ifname=virtio_0 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet0,mac=00:54:01:8c:53:b5,bus=pci.0,id=virtio_0_0 -device intel-hda,id=sound0,bus=pci.0 -device hda-duplex -balloon none -uuid 5a7bee18-5ab6-464a-9b10-ff60e29d1753 -name RHEL49  -boot c  -monitor stdio -vnc :1

2.Start VNC display:vncviewer 10.xx.xx.xx:1&

3.Insert microphone and earphone to the host which starts the guest.

4.Play audio or Record sound on the guest.
  
Actual results:
There's no sound from the host earphone and it can't record sound on the AMD host.

However it can play sound on the Intel host,but also can't record sound. 


Expected results:

Could play sound and record sound on both Intel and AMD host
