AFAIK, Intel HD Audio is always preferred unless you are on Windows 7 as we have a long standing bug in QEMU that makes a small sound artifact very often, you can find more about it at [0] [0] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1203507#c23 QEMU_AUDIO_DRV is also interesting to debug audio issues. By setting QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=pa for instance it will redirect the audio to the host's PulseAudio. > > Uri. > > > +audio playback and recording.

Beside the second 'to', looks good to me too!
