Nor do I want to reboot it to do music stuff; I'd only do that for only an hour here and there rarely, and wouldn't want to lose my environment (read: emacs session, mosh sessions, and Firefox/Chrome tabs) and bring it all back. > > What I'd really like is to run something like AVLinux inside KVM, with just enough resources to run Ardour and some plugins and maybe low-resource synths. I can book AVLinux just fine, but the problem I've had is that I cannot for the life of me get audio working. I get errors from KVM. > > Has anyone successfully gotten audio to work from inside of a KVM VM? Is there any special magick I need to do to get this happening? Hi Ken, I was able to get audio working in Kvm using spice instead of vnc. Basically you should set up "spice" in display-vnc reachable from the guest details in VMM. I've never experimented using it in real time i've just loaded some old projects i did with reaper years ago and it did work (ignoring the latency while recording of course). Hope it helps Regards, Nicola > > Also, I understand that if I'm not running a RT kernel on the host machine, I won't get RT performance on the VM's, but I don't think I need that for mixing. Are there any reasons why running say an Ingo kernel inside a KVM box wouldn't work? > > -ken > _______________________________________________ > Linux-audio-user mailing list > Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
