Hello Serge, I can confirm that adding a SDL graphics device in the VM configuration and removing the vnc device I was able to hear the sound.
So if virt-manager disables sound in its VNC device due to security issues and SDL only works locally, then there is currently no support for remote sound. It seems that upstream virt-manager has added support for spice: http://virt-manager.et.redhat.com/download.html but since I have not seen any spice packages in either ubuntu or debian, I fear it will take the order of a few years before those features will hit an LTS release, which is rather unfortunate. BTW: closing the SDL window will turn the VM off hard. Is that expected behavior or should that be reported as a bug? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/635703 Title: No sound from virtual machines -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
