No sound on Qemu with ICH9
I have the same problem as here:

Is there a way to downgrade qemu-audio-pipewire on Bazzite?

i believe we either have to package it ourselves temporarily or you will have to rollback to 40 and wait for a fix, this is why rollback exists
and since its not something we include in the image itself i dont think we will be packaging it
Ok, that's unfortunate, but thank you for the reply!
hopefully qemu fixes it soon and fedora updates the package
does the other soundcard still work as a workaround?
would probably be worse audio but its a temp workaround over spice crashing (according to the post)
ICH6 also doesn't work.
AC97 provides sound with very bad quality, so pretty much unusable.
yeah AC97 is pretty old...
from 90s or something
guess its rollback to 40 and wait 🙃
there is an alternative for windows to temporarily use scream audio but its not ideal as its audio over tcp
and uses some more cpu
I stay on 41 for now. No sound in virtual machine is not a complete dealbreaker, but it's tough

dont use it over shm if you use looking-glass as it conflicts with it

also its somehow worse last time i tried it
but that would be an alternative i guess?
I run Linux VMs
ah nvm then
@bobbybowser FYI the qemu-audio-pipewire package got updated today and restores the old behavior (keep in mind there is a small memory leak from the audio though which is what it had before, just mentioning in case you run into it)
Thanks for the notice, but it was already updated like over a week ago
And it works since over a week
oh nice, fedora must have done a manual revert patch then before upstream
I don't know, they pushed qemu-9.1.1-2.fc41 2 weeks ago
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2024-1b65e3d5be
I hope the new qemu-9.1.2-1.fc41 works as good
there was a 9.1.1 with a patch that didnt work and i assumed it was that one
the 9.1.2 reverted the whole patch that introduced the issue (meaning they are looking at an alternate way to fix the memory leak)
The 9.1.1-2 worked really good for me and fixed the issue for me
oh well
either way the issue is gone-gone anyway
yeah, thats really nice
my guess is fedora made a 9.1.1-but_its_really-9.1.0
or something like that 😛
there was 9.1.1, but 9.1.1 was borked
thats exactly what i said 😛
