Hello,

since a week or two, I have a very strange problem with audio output on a 
Windows Vista guest. Right after booting the guest, audio does not work. If I 
leave the guest running for some hours (don't know how many, I usually try 
again next day), audio output works fine.

I'm using es1370 emulation, but I get the same results with the other 
alternatives, too.

Guest: Windows Vista SP1 32bit

Host: Ubuntu 12.10 64bit
% dpkg --list|grep -e kvm -e qemu
ii  kvm-ipxe                              1.0.0+git-3.55f6c88-0ubuntu5                
all          PXE ROM's for KVM
ii  qemu-common                           1.2.0+noroms-0ubuntu2                       
all          qemu common functionality (bios, documentation, etc)
ii  qemu-kvm                              1.2.0+noroms-0ubuntu2                       
amd64        Full virtualization on supported hardware
ii  qemu-kvm-spice                        1.2.0-2012.09-0ubuntu1                      
amd64        Full virtualization on amd64 hardware
ii  qemu-utils                            1.2.0+noroms-0ubuntu2                       
amd64        qemu utilities

Is this a known problem? What could I do to resolve it?

Thanks...

	Dirk

Dirk,
sometimes when windows detects new hardware on a write-protected image, it needs to reinstall it on boot.
For USB controllers this is usually on a 10-15 minute cycle. It may use a similar service startup cycle for audio hardware.
Is your Vista image in 'snapshot=off' mode?

I don't think so, but I don't really know. How can I tell?

Bye...

If you are using VirtManager, I don't know, as I'm a command line user, but I guess you could google 'make qemu guest writeable' and that might give you some information about checking.
Sorry I can't help more.

Please open a bug on Launchpad.  It will be examined by the Ubuntu
maintainers and possibly forwarded to the QEMU project.
