Qemu 8.1 how use virtual ac97 soundcard or more information
 

Greetings;

had updated recently to qemu 8.1 and was wondering how to use/emulate an ac97 card like in other versions if available?
qemu 8.1 uses the new -devicedev parameter for sound.
-audio-help may be used to get more info about sound.
8.1.5 manual is here.

Did it change from 8.0.x? I briefly had 8.1.0 but the SPARC emulator is broken with regards to the cursor so I changed back. This works under 8.0.4 for Windows ME, bridge networking and PulseAudio backend.

You might do better with 8.0.x for now. 8.0.4 just came out end of August.

Good idea to downgrade if not working but depends on the situation/environment or security requirements. was on windows for the post virtualizing ubuntu, did not know about -device AC97 in your code, worked for me: -device AC97,id=snd0. May try in other systems, before marking as solved. Thank you!Linux technologies now also have kernel vm's and guest vm's etc. virtio, containers, it's crazy. :-)

It worked for me on an old ubuntu vm but not an old fedoracore vm so far and did not use -devicedev. Update#1: Better example code for me for Redhat vm: example on web address: https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/1076 had some sound skip/crackling but worked.
