Good news. Looks like newer sound drivers are coming to Qemu in 0.14 (Maverick has 0.12.5, but Natty has 0.14) that work with Windows 7.
http://wiki.qemu.org/ChangeLog/0.14 ---------------------------------------- Sound * New Intel HD Audio support (commit), adding three new devices: o intel-hda: Intel HD Audio Controller, the PCI device. o hda-duplex: HDA Codec. Attaches to the HDA bus. Supports 16bit stereo, rates 16k -> 96k, playback, recording and volume control (with CONFIG_MIXEMU=y). o hda-output: HDA Codec without recording support. Subset of the hda-duplex codec. Use this if you don't want your guests access your mic. * Usage: add '-device intel-hda -device hda-duplex' to your command line. * Tested guests: o Linux works. o Win7 works. o DOS (mpxplay) works. o WinXP doesn't work. ---------------------------------------- -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/419182 Title: KVM and audio driver in Windows 7 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
