Setting QEMU_AUDIO_DRV should not be needed, might even cause more issues, so don't do that :) > So, I would still like to set up the sound through the 'spice' and virt-manager. In general, this should just work out of the box. spice-gtk has a pulseaudio backend, and a gstreamer backend. I think the default is pulseaudio. So I'd check what is being used on your system, and check remote-viewer console output (you can get more with G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all remote-viewer --spice-debug). Christophe
