hello everyone,

I created HVM guest on xen-4.1. Many of the features I want are working except the sound system.

I tried available sound driver models (sb16|es1370|ac97,pcspk), no luck. Then I taught may be my sound card is not supported by qemu-dm. How is it possible to know if my sound card is supported by qemu-dm?

Here is host sound card information
$lspci -v

If it is not supported, what shall I do??

thank you so much.

Best,

nas,

Which Operating System are you trying to run as the as the HVM Guest? I seem to recall reading that its hard to find working drivers if your guest OS is Windows 7; its something that the newer release avoids because it can support Intel HDA (which has drivers included with the OS, iirc)

I am using Ubuntu-12.04 LTS. 32/64-bit version. As you know ALSA is default Audio platform in Ubuntu and has support for Intel HDA which in fact supports my sound card type:

$lspci -k -nn

    Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device [103c:3398]
    Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel
    Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel

yesterday, i build a new qemu from source and tried to use it with xen. But XM could not validate the keyword "soundhw=hda" (so that i can emulate the HDA sound device only). I tried "soundhw=hda" but only ac97 and es1370 are emulated.

I really appreciate any help so that HVM can make sound.

Regards,

David
