hello everyone,
I created HVM guest on xen-4.1. Many of the features I want are working
except the sound system.
I tried available sound driver models (sb16|es1370|ac97,pcspk), no luck.
Then I taught may be my sound card is not supported by qemu-dm. How is it
possible to know if my sound card is supported by qemu-dm?
Here is host sound card information
$lspci -v
- - -
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Panther Point High Definition Audio
Controller (rev 04)
Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 3398
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 75
Memory at f7c30000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2
Capabilities: [60] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+
Capabilities: [70] Express Root Complex Integrated Endpoint, MSI 00
Capabilities: [100] Virtual Channel
Capabilities: [130] Root Complex Link
Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel
Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel
- -
If it is not supported, what shall I do??
thank you so much.
Best,
//nas

I''m not sure exactly what it takes to enable sound for an HVM guest, I suggest you start by examining the build logs, in particular the output of the configure run for qemu-dm. You probably need some libraries available (perhaps ALSA, or maybe some SDL audio related ones?), the output of configure will hopefully tell you what is missing. Ian.

I seem to recall reading that its hard to find working drivers if your guest OS is Windows 7; its something that the newer release avoids because it can support Intel HDA (which has drivers included with the OS, iirc) Regards, David _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xen.org http://lists.xen.org/xen-users

I am not sure if I am doing right, but I tried with "soundhw=all" -----> only es1370, ac97 are emulated. and "soundhw=hda" ------> this is definitely my sound card type; however, $xm create xmtest.cfg could not work because of "hda" keyword. Why xen did not implement for HDA support? Or does it make a difference if I use XL instead of XM?> Ian. > > > thank you,Best, //nas _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xen.org http://lists.xen.org/xen-users

You should pick an emulated device which is a) part of the list of device which qemu emulates and b) where you have a suitable driver for the guest OS.> however, $xm create xmtest.cfg could not work because of "hda" > keyword. Why xen did not implement for HDA support?Xen uses what qemu implements here. You are using the older qemu-traditional device model which predates the addition of hda support to qemu. newer versions of Xen (4.3 onwards, experimental in 4.2) support using newer upstream versions of qemu, however 4.1 does not so unless you want to upgrade you Xen this isn''t an option for you.> Or does it make a difference if I use XL instead of XM?I wouldn''t expect it would.

As you know ALSA is default Audio platform in Ubuntu and has support for Intel HDA which in fact supports my sound card type: $lspci -k -nn - - - 00:1b.0 Audio device [0403]: Intel Corporation Panther Point High Definition Audio Controller [8086:1e20] (rev 04) Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device [103c:3398] Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel - - - yesterday, i build a new qemu from source and tried to use it with xen. But XM could not validate the keyword "soundhw=hda" (so that i can emulate the HDA sound device only). I tried "soundhw=hda" but only ac97 and es1370 are emulated. I really appreciate any help so that HVM can make sound.> > Regards, > > David >_______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xen.org http://lists.xen.org/xen-users
