Audio in KVM (qemu) launched through libvirtmanager used to work fine
last time I used it (about 3 months ago.) There has been lots of updates
since then, including a switch from Pulseaudio to Pipewire, and
something along the way broke it. Now I get no sound whatsoever. qemu
doesn't even show up as an application in the audio mixer, nor in the
output of "pw-top".
If I launch the VM directly through qemu with:
qemu-system-x86_64 [...] -audiodev id=audio1,driver=pa
then it works fine. But if I launch it through libvirtmanager, it
doesn't. Even if I force the use of "-audiodev id=audio1,driver=pa" in
the XML of the VM in /etc/libvirt/qemu/, it still doesn't work. There's
no error anywhere, no warning, nothing in the logs.
Does anyone have any idea what to do?
