Using "testdrive" (note: testdrive-gtk does not exist for Lucid) the sound of the virtual machine was passed through to the host and working fine (well I'm not sure whether the volume control from within the VM should work as it didn't have any effect, but the volume control of the host worked fine)
I used ps -eaf to capture the command line of the VM when run via virt-manager, if that helps: /usr/bin/kvm -S -M pc-0.12 -enable-kvm -m 512 -smp 1 -name Maverick -uuid ce83abff-c8d7-233d-fb05-c1324d8ddf22 -chardev socket,id=monitor,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/Maverick.monitor,server,nowait -monitor chardev:monitor -boot c -drive file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/Maverick.img,if=virtio,index=0,boot=on,format=raw -drive file=/mnt/shared/ISO-Images/Ubuntu/ubuntu-10.10-beta-desktop-i386.iso,if=ide,media=cdrom,index=2,format=raw -net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:32:dc:5a,vlan=0,model=virtio,name=virtio.0 -net tap,fd=34,vlan=0,name=tap.0 -chardev pty,id=serial0 -serial chardev:serial0 -parallel none -usb -vnc 127.0.0.1:0 -vga cirrus -soundhw ac97 ** Changed in: virt-manager (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => New -- No sound from virtual machines https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/635703 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
