Hi Brian, so the first steps in fixing this are as follows:
1. in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf add the lines vnc_allow_host_audio = 1 user=bmullan group=bmullan 2. in /etc/init/libvirt-bin.conf, add the line export QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=pa right before the final exec, so 'script' block at the bottom of the file becomes: script [ -r /etc/default/libvirt-bin ] && . /etc/default/libvirt-bin export QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=pa exec /usr/sbin/libvirtd $libvirtd_opts end script 3. Add the following lines to /etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/libvirt-qemu : @{HOME}/.config/pulse/cookie rwk, @{HOME}/.config/pulse/** rwkl, @{HOME}/.config/ r, @{HOME}/.config/pulse/ rw, owner /run/shm/pulse-* rw, /usr/bin/pulseaudio PUx, /etc/pulse/daemon.conf r, /tmp/pulse*/*.lock rwk, /proc/* r, /proc/*/fd/ r, With all this, though I still do *not* have working sound. There may be a pulseaudio server setting I haven't found, or there may be a silent apparmor denial. If we get this working then we can put most of the apparmor lines in the policy, and to put hints in the config files for the rest. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1246929 Title: no audio in KVM virtual machines : cannot select alsa or pa To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/1246929/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
