Greetings,
so I've upgraded my server and yet again, one of my vm lost a functionally.
there is no usable sound card.

any ideas?
Thanks.
I suspect it's related to:
<audio id='1' type='none'/>
in the domain XML. Selecting a backend might help.

I've diffed the current xml with the one last known to work, they both have the same entry
Can you possibly downgrade QEMU, libvirt, and the host kernel
independently to see if downgrading just one (or two) of them fixes the
problem?
(I would normally have suggested diffing the qemu commandline from the
logs in /var/log/libvirt/qemu/${guestname}.log to see if the VFIO
portion was unchanged (and thus counting out libvirt from the possible
causes of the problem), but the commandlines have recently switched to
using JSON syntax, so they will probably be different anyway).
Since your audio device is assigned with VFIO, and libvirt has nothing
more to do with that than just unbinding the host driver and binding the
vfio-pci driver, then putting the info on the commandline for QEMU, I'd
put money on the problem being either in QEMU or the kernel, in which
case you'd probably get more useful advice from the
vfio-users@xxxxxxxxxx mailing list than here.
