Try '-device intel-hda -device hda-micro' (instead of -device intel-hda -device hda-duplex', or '-soundhw hda' which is a shortcut for the latter). 'hda-duplex' presents a codec with line-in and line-out to the guest. 'hda-micro' presents a codec with microphone and speaker to the guest. Other than having in and out tagged differently the codecs are identical. But especially declaring the input being a mic seems to be needed to make some picky windows software happy. cheers, Gerd -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
