Thank you so very much for the help so far and I hope we can fix this USB problem. To further figure out what is going on when the usb device disconnects we will need some logs. For starters lets look at the spice-client side, before starting virt-manager or virt-viewer do the following in the terminal: export LIBUSB_DEBUG=4 And then start the application from the terminal like e.g. this: virt-manager virt-man.log Then do what you want to do with the usb headset until it disconnects, and once it has disconnected quit and attach the generated virt-man.log file to your next mail. Regards, Hans p.s. Below are instructions to gather logs on the qemu side. I do not need those right now, first lets do the client side logs, but since I've already looked up the instructions I thought it would be good to put them in this mail: Standard the libvirt qemu logs under: /var/log/libvirt/qemu/vm-name.log Should contain some minimal usb logging. If native usb is properly setup and a client connects which supports native usb, one would expect messages like this to show up there: qemu-system-x86_64: usbredirparser: Peer version: spice-gtk 0.21, using 64-bits ids If a message like the above does not show up then there is a problem with the vm config, and further more detailed debugging is not going to help. If you're debugging problems with a certain device it may be helpful to enable more verbose logging of usb traffic inside qemu, to do this, the vm's libvirt xml file needs to be edited like this: domain type='qemu' xmlns:qemu='http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/qemu/1.0' ... devices ... /devices qemu:commandline qemu:arg value='-set'/ qemu:arg value='device.usbredir0.debug=4'/ /qemu:commandline /domain Note the first line needs to be changed and the qemu:commandline section is new. If there are more usbredir devices inside the xml (usually there are) then additional -set device.usbredir1.debug=4, etc. arguments must be added, ie: qemu:commandline qemu:arg value='-set'/ qemu:arg value='device.usbredir0.debug=4'/ qemu:arg value='-set'/ qemu:arg value='device.usbredir1.debug=4'/ /qemu:commandline Note this kind of detailed logging is only useful when a certain device fails, if no devices work at all there usual is a general configuration problem. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe kvm in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Which connection method will give me the most reliable/stable USB connection with the cleanest audio outcomes? whatever would work best is what I want to use. --- eric -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe kvm in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Sounds like virt-manager. qemu logs should be at /var/log/libvirt/qemu/$guest.log then. Any error messages in there? Any messages in the host kernel log (about usb device reset maybe?) Do you use an usb 2 controller? If not, can try whenever that improves things? Can be switched when you pick the controller usb in the virt-manager devices ui. cheers, Gerd -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe kvm in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
