Audio from Debian VM to SPICE or TeamViewer client

[Nixellion]

Hello! I'm trying to get audio from Debian9 VM (MATE desktop if it matters) to windows spice client.


VM is Machine Q35 and ` args: -device intel-hda,id=sound5,bus=pci.0,addr=0x18 -device hda-micro,id=sound5-codec0,bus=sound5.0,cad=0 -device hda-duplex,id=sound5-codec1,bus=sound5.0,cad=1 ` added to config. Debian guest can see audio device as High Definition Audio Controller (QEMU virtual machine). I also tried with AC97 config line as docs suggest.

I tried with SPICE and TeamViewer and can't get audio to work. In TeamViewer "Computer sound" checkbox is just greyed out.

So how can I get audio working from my guest VM to the client? Any advice? Did I miss something?

Thanks for your time and attention!

UPDATE

Connected a USB sound card to the host, passed through to the VM and I can confirm that sound from VM is working if I connect headphones to the soundcard.

Looks like TeamViewer may just not support audio from Linux guests.

Is it the same with SPICE? Or is there any way to get audio from Guest VM to Client?

Here's what I get in client logs regarding audio:

Is it the same with SPICE?

The Windows SPICE client is unfortunately not that good. I've running SPICE on Debian with audio and file sharing without a problem, but with the Linux SPICE client, the windows client does not offer all features. I have, however, running a SPICE client on Linux in a VirtualBox VM that has sound then. I know a lot of virtualisation to get it working, but it works.
