Hello,

I have a vm runing windows 7 64bit and i would like to output it's sound on the integrated sound card of the host.

Is it possible ?

I have added the following args in the config files :

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

I now have a sound card that is configured but i still have no sound output.

Thanks for your help
 
not sure if I understand your use case.

e.g. your Proxmox VE host is in the datacenter and you access a Win7 VM via your desktop OS - and you want sound.

if this is the use case, you can:
- juse use ms rdp with sound
- or use SPICE client, see http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/SPICE#Using_Audio
 
Nope it's a home lab (basically a pc in my livving room)

I want to use it to have multiple vms (one main windows where i will set SARAH a voice control home automation software, this is why i need sound and then some other linux vms for various stuff)

For my main vm i want to plug some speakers on the PC and be able to hear the sound of my windows VM
 
As suggested by spirit i have enabled pci passthrough but now i'm not able to boot my vm

I have added this to the grub file

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet intel_iommu=on"

pci passthrought works as you can see here

My sound card seems to be the host 00:03.0, so i add this to my vm conf file

hostpci0: 00:03.0

But when i try to boot my VM i have this error
