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.

Fixed In Version: qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.307.el6
Doc Type: Release Note
Doc Text:
Configurable Sound Pass-through A sound device can now be detected as a microphone or a speaker in the guest system (in addition to being detected as line-in and line-out). Sound devices can now function properly in guest applications that accept only certain types of input for voice recording and audio.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2013:0527 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE qemu-kvm bug fix and enhancement update 2013-02-20 21:51:08 UTC

Description David Juran 2012-03-07 15:23:19 UTC 
Description of problem:
When running a Windows7 VM in RHEV, the sound device that is passed through SPICE is presented to the VM as line-in but some applications (notably Microsoft Live Meeting) require this as a MIC. I therefore suggest that we make it a configurable how the sound device is presented
Comment 3 Gerd Hoffmann 2012-03-08 08:53:03 UTC 
scratch build:
http://brewweb.devel.redhat.com/brew/taskinfo?taskID=4129196

Testing: Use "-device hda-micro" instead of "-device hda-duplex" on the qemu-kvm command line.

Expected behavior:  Windows7 starts hardware detection on first boot with hda-micro active.  Start -> Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Manage audio devices -> Recording tab -> see microphone instead of line-in there.
Comment 4 David Juran 2012-03-08 10:31:58 UTC 
Not too good results, qemu-kvm segfaulted while windows was booting up with the following message in syslog:

Mar  8 10:28:22 rhevh2 kernel: qemu-kvm[30366]: segfault at 50 ip 00007fdac66931e5 sp 00007fdabee2f9a0 error 4 in libspice-server.so.1.0.2[7fdac665f000+e2000]


Running this on rhev-H hosts, so not much more info available...
Comment 5 Gerd Hoffmann 2012-03-08 10:52:00 UTC 
Any chance to pickup+install latest spice-server package from brew on that machine and see how it goes then?  Failing that I'll go build a 6.2 version.
Comment 6 David Juran 2012-03-09 14:47:59 UTC 
On the bright side, with spice-server-0.10.1-4.el6, qemu-kvm no longer crashes.
On the not-so-bright side, is there any (easy) way I can test this in a RHEV environment? I.e. start a VM with the hda-micro parameter?
Comment 7 Gerd Hoffmann 2012-04-26 09:42:34 UTC 
Patches are merged upstream:

http://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=commitdiff;h=d0c2bbb9f04925eeda9948586aa382ccf68e26e7
http://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=commitdiff;h=201100656986735250ed4cd47be6b8a31c771763
http://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=commitdiff;h=ec4a804792ea20f716371a0a661efc9ec15c7ff0

They create a new hda-micro codec which advertises speaker+microphone instead of line-in/out.
Comment 9 Sibiao Luo 2012-07-10 03:04:40 UTC 
Hi all,

   I reproduce this issue on qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.295.el6.x86_64 as following.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
host info:
# uname -r && rpm -q qemu-kvm
2.6.32-278.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.295.el6.x86_64
guest info:
windows_7_ultimate_sp1_x64

Steps to Reproduce:
1.boot a windows 7 guest with "-device hda-duplex".
eg:<qemu-kvm-command-line>-device intel-hda,id=sound0,bus=pci.0 -device hda-duplex
2.check "Start -> Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Manage audio devices -> Recording tab".

Reproduce results:
after the step 2, we could see "line-in" device in Recording tab.


   I also test the Gerd's build Comment #8 with the same steps using "-device hda-micro" instead of "-device hda-duplex" on the qemu-kvm command line. The test results is that we could see "Microphone" instead of "line-in" device there.

Best wish.

Comment 14 Sibiao Luo 2012-11-23 05:02:08 UTC 
Verify this bug on qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.334.el6.x86_64.

host info:
# uname -r && rpm -q qemu-kvm
2.6.32-342.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.334.el6.x86_64
guest info:
windows_7_ultimate_sp1_x64

steps:
the same as comment #9

Result:
we could see "Microphone" device in Recording tab instead of "line-in" there, "Start -> Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Manage audio devices -> Recording tab".

Base on above and comment #9, this bug was fixed correctly.
