sound kvm

In this thread: http://www.proxmox.com/forum/showthread.php?t=396

someone asks about config options for sound hardware in kvm. Are there any? how do I install a sound driver in a kvm guest?

thanks in advance.

To use sound with RDP you need to start RDP with sound support (on the client). There is no need to install a special sound driver on the Guest (Windows RDP does that automatically for you).

Hi,

the same here, working with xp, not working with win 2003.

I tried to connect to a physical win2003 installation (vista sp1 to win2003 sp2) and I also got NO sound. So it looks like an issue on win2003, maybe you should ask Microsoft support how this should work.

I'll try it later tonight (working now).

for what it's worth, it works:

1. Go into the 'Services' section (under Admin tools, under Control Panel)
2. Change the 'Windows Audio service' from 'Disabled' to 'Automatic' - and start it
3. Go to the 'Terminal Services Configuration' section (under Admin tools, under Control Panel)
4. Double click on 'RDP-TCP'
5. Select the 'Client Settings' tab
6. Clear the 'Audio Mapping' check box
