Hello everyone, I have asked around everywhere and googled to infinity, along with testing for the past hour or so.
Is it not possible to add ISA devices such as the Soundblaster 16 into a virtual machine? My virtual machines only seem to accept PCI devices such as
The command "kvm -soundhw help ?" returns the following:
However if I add anything from that list that normally uses an ISA bus/slot, it just simply doesn't appear in the VM. For example, if I try to use -soundhw sb16 or even specify it manually using -device sb16,iobase=<ioaddr>,irq=<irq>,dma=<dma>,dma16=<dma>, it just doesn't appear. It doesn't give me any errors at all, but the VM can't see it. If I add the ES1370 or the AC97, it's fine, and it can see it.
I'm simply trying to find out if I can passthrough a Windows 2000 machine to a physical graphics card, and have SB16 be emulated inside it via QEMU. This can be done on a regular QEMU running on a workstation, so can someone offer me some advice as to why it's not working here? Lack of support by i440FX or something?
