Has anyone got audio playing and recording from Win 7 to to KVM host? I know that audio recording is restricted and will not work on Win 7 Professional but it should work on Win 7 Ultimate.
Any idea why sound doesn't seem to work for me, I am using the default VMM choice of ich6 for the sound device.
Edit:
Forgot to say I have tried the AC97 device but windows cannot find a driver for that.
ac97 has no drivers for win7x64, try it with win7x32 - should work just fine. Especially with spice
Are you suggesting going back to 32-bit Windows rather than 64-bit? Unfortunately in this case that is not an option, must keep to 64-bit Win 7 for other reasons.
Thanks but is that really the only way to obtain the spice driver files? Had a quick browser through that but seems exceptionally complex considering all that we want to do is download a couple of driver files. Is there any reason that these spice drivers cannot just be downloaded from somewhere rather than downloadingh all the necessary to compile from scratch? Do RedHat publish these drivers anywhere.

You'll have to use a different sound card then. Libvirt has several options available, just make sure the one you use has x64 drivers available

That is very much the question, has anyone got any of these sound card options working in a Win 7 VM and if so which one. I have tried them all but so far no success with any of them.
