No sound on Qemu with ICH9

I have the same problem as here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/1geiihi/qemu_911_ich9_bug/
Is there a way to downgrade qemu-audio-pipewire on Bazzite?

i believe we either have to package it ourselves temporarily or you will have to rollback to 40 and wait for a fix, this is why rollback exists

and since its not something we include in the image itself i dont think we will be packaging it

Ok, that's unfortunate, but thank you for the reply!

HikariKnight•10/30/24, 7:12 PM

hopefully qemu fixes it soon and fedora updates the package

HikariKnight•10/30/24, 7:12 PM

does the other soundcard still work as a workaround?

HikariKnight•10/30/24, 7:13 PM

would probably be worse audio but its a temp workaround over spice crashing (according to the post)

HHikariKnight does the other soundcard still work as a workaround?

bobbybowserOP•10/30/24, 7:36 PM

ICH6 also doesn't work.
AC97 provides sound with very bad quality, so pretty much unusable.

HikariKnight•10/30/24, 7:37 PM

yeah AC97 is pretty old...

HikariKnight•10/30/24, 7:37 PM

from 90s or something

HikariKnight•10/30/24, 7:38 PM

guess its rollback to 40 and wait

there is an alternative for windows to temporarily use scream audio but its not ideal as its audio over tcp

HikariKnight•10/30/24, 7:38 PM

and uses some more cpu

I stay on 41 for now. No sound in virtual machine is not a complete dealbreaker, but it's tough

dont use it over shm if you use looking-glass as it conflicts with it

also its somehow worse last time i tried it

HikariKnight•10/30/24, 7:40 PM

but that would be an alternative i guess?

bobbybowserOP•10/30/24, 7:40 PM

I run Linux VMs

HikariKnight•10/30/24, 7:40 PM

ah nvm then

HikariKnight•11/26/24, 5:32 PM

@bobbybowser FYI the qemu-audio-pipewire package got updated today and restores the old behavior (keep in mind there is a small memory leak from the audio though which is what it had before, just mentioning in case you run into it)

Thanks for the notice, but it was already updated like over a week ago

bobbybowserOP•11/26/24, 5:49 PM

And it works since over a week

Bbobbybowser Thanks for the notice, but it was already updated like over a week ago

oh nice, fedora must have done a manual revert patch then before upstream

HHikariKnight oh nice, fedora must have done a manual revert patch then before upstream

I don't know, they pushed qemu-9.1.1-2.fc41 2 weeks ago
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2024-1b65e3d5be
I hope the new qemu-9.1.2-1.fc41 works as good

HikariKnight•11/26/24, 6:01 PM

there was a 9.1.1 with a patch that didnt work and i assumed it was that one

HikariKnight•11/26/24, 6:02 PM

the 9.1.2 reverted the whole patch that introduced the issue (meaning they are looking at an alternate way to fix the memory leak)

HHikariKnight there was a 9.1.1 with a patch that didnt work and i assumed it was that one

bobbybowserOP•11/26/24, 6:02 PM

The 9.1.1-2 worked really good for me and fixed the issue for me

HikariKnight•11/26/24, 6:02 PM

oh well

HikariKnight•11/26/24, 6:03 PM

either way the issue is gone-gone anyway
