Regarding sound, there are some suggestions here:

https://juho.tykkala.fi/Pulseaudio-and-latency#positive-effect-on-latency

However I haven't tried the latest kernel myself so can't really
comment.

IIRC ich6 has been preferred to ac97 for quite a long time now.


I had mine set to use ich9 and ich6 made no difference to me, it's still  
scratchy. It looks to me more fundamental than emulated audio, the entire VM  
became sluggish with the 5.18 kernel.

IIRC ich6 has been preferred to ac97 for quite a long time now.

You may also want to check that you're using the i440FX chipset rather
than the older one (the name of which escapes me).

At least I think it's a crash. One second after a VM start it's brick-city. 
Display frozen, no response from the network. I've got nothing: after a reboot 
there's nothing in journalctl -r -b -1. This brings up fond memories -- ages

serial console, in situations like these.

But, these days, no more RS-232 ports. I dimly recall that a USB-serial option 
is possible; but I don't have any of that in any case.

Anyway, reverting to 5.18.9 made this VM happy, and my VMs on another hardware, 
also running the same kernel, are also fine. But, 5.18.11 gets reliably

Just a data point for you.

I run 5.18.11-200.fc36.x86_64 on the host and on the guest (KVM). No crashes so 
far.
However, sound is now broken, highly distorted, so maybe there is something bad 
with this kernel?

You bay want to set rsyslog to log to the host, hoping to catch messages that 
did not make it to
the guests fs. I have all my machines log to my server (which is the host too).

A special, long incantation is appended to /etc/rsyslog.conf (on the guest).
On the host I Provided TCP/UDP syslog reception in the same conf file.


I now changed the guest machine from "sound ac97" to "sound ich6" and sound now 
works OK.
The old setup was OK for a very long time.

It is a worry when a stable setup stops working, so the OP may consider trying 
different
guest settings.

YMMV

Sounds like you (or the bug you post) would benefit from setting up the kdump 
service to capture the kernel crash.

Hi Sam,

Did you try ?


Yes. It's dead as a doornail.


Fortunately, it is not happening to me, but I
am still running 5.18.10-200.fc36.x86_64.
I am getting paranoid about upgrading my kernel.

Did you report it to Bugzilla?


No, there's nothing worthwhile to report. "Crashes with Qemu on some  
hardware" isn't a very useful bug report.


Here's an example of a useful bug report: 2107827

That one looks like like my bug, except that I do not have anything to  
conclusively prove it; but this sounds very promising.
