Using QEMU 0.13 it works very very for remote sound, however after upgrading to QEMU 1.1.0 the audio stream contains only bytes of zeros, so this results in no sound on the client. It is almost like the stream is muted by sending 0 bytes instead of the actual data. 0: VNC: :SOUND: AudioOn 1: VNC: :SOUND: Received _QEMU_Audio_Server_Message: Operation: 1 2: VNC: :SOUND: Received _QEMU_Audio_Start 3: VNC: :SOUND: Received _QEMU_Audio_Server_Message: Operation: 2 4: VNC: :SOUND: Received _QEMU_Audio_Data 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Is there something new that needs to be done in order for the sound to be pushed out, like some unmute mechanism? I rebuilt QEMU 0.15.1 and sound worked but was very choppy, I think due to some timer injection changes - but that's another issue. Thanks in advance. AlbertI've just rebuilt QEMU 1.0 (and all of its dependencies) and it has the same problem (zero bytes), so some incompatibility was introduced between 0.15.1 and 1.1.0. Anyone got any clues ?Please try to bisect the issue.
My previous comment had a typo, it should have said: between 0.15.1 and 1.0. (not 1.1.0)
bi-section so far:I suspect that one of the following patches is causing the issue, these are all added to QEMU 1.0 (by Fedora at least) and are included in 1.1.0 upstream.
# Spice volume control backports, all are upstream for 1.1 Patch501: 0501-audio-add-VOICE_VOLUME-ctl.patch Patch502: 0502-audio-don-t-apply-volume-effect-if-backend-has-VOICE.patch Patch503: 0503-hw-ac97-remove-USE_MIXER-code.patch Patch504: 0504-hw-ac97-the-volume-mask-is-not-only-0x1f.patch Patch505: 0505-hw-ac97-add-support-for-volume-control.patch Patch506: 0506-audio-spice-add-support-for-volume-control.patch Patch507: 0507-Do-not-use-pa_simple-PulseAudio-API.patch Patch508: 0508-configure-pa_simple-is-not-needed-anymore.patch Patch509: 0509-Allow-controlling-volume-with-PulseAudio-backend.patch In order to use the QEMU VNC Audio for remote sound, you mustexport QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=none, this indicates that you are not using a back-end.
QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=none is deceptive, but accurate, it tells QEMU not to connect to the QEMU host sound system. It does _not_ mean there is no sound.
Volume/mute control for VNC QEMU remote sound should _always_ be managed from the client side and should be on by default, but it looks like something is interfering with the stream from QEMU >0.15.1 on the server side and thus breaking the QEMU VNC extension.
