Not sure how you'd do it at the command line, but in the virtual
machine manager check you have a "Sound" entry in the machine devices
list (the 'i' tab). If not there, sound should be an entry in 'add
hardware'. The default seems to be ich6.

I have this entry on the VM, already. I'm still not getting any audio passthrough from this VM.

This really got my goat, so I wasted some time comparing the two VMs.

After reconfiguring the Display emulation to "Spice", and Video emulation to "QXL", audio started working. Go figure.

Also, in the XML config file, I manually changed machine to "pc-i440fx-1.4", dunno if it makes any difference, or not.
