> 2. Windows driver for virtio-snd. Here we need a really good justification to do it. Basically, MS has universal audio architecture https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Audio_Architecture - which means all audio devices should...
Relevant news: QEMU 8.2 was recently released, which finally supports `virtio-sound` (a.k.a. `virtio-snd`). So at least there is now a common hypervisor out there in which such a paravirtualized guest...
I also just submitted a [Feature Request](https://github.com/cloud-hypervisor/cloud-hypervisor/issues/6065) to the Cloud Hypervisor project. I hope they will take it into consideration. :crossed_fingers:
Hey, this is interesting! Judging from these commits, it would appear that the VirtualBox developers are currently working on virtio-sound as well, apparently because they are adding support for ARM...
In response to my feature request for virtio-snd support, one of the Cloud Hypervisor developers [asked](https://github.com/cloud-hypervisor/cloud-hypervisor/issues/6065#issuecomment-1873241308) the following question: > Could you share a use case where sound is required...
@ybendito But since the virtio-snd device is designed from the ground up to be paravirtualized, wouldn't it at the very least reduce emulation overhead? Preventing the need for port-trapping, unnecessary...
@Pilo11 There is a port of KVM to Windows called GVM, which specifically supports the hardware-assisted virtualization features of AMD CPUs: https://github.com/google/android-emulator-hypervisor-driver-for-amd-processors Could that help as an alternative for HAXM...
@balintkissdev Technically, these aren't development tools either. Or at least, that's not their primary purpose. Their primary purpose is to allow modern PCs to run DOS bare-metal, while supporting sound...
I updated it. I created both a separate category and a subcategory below that. Please let me know what you think. Feel free to immediately merge it if you're okay...
@yeokm1 Well, I tested this change in a QEMU VM with an emulated parallel port. It seemed to work, although it did still require sudo privileges. :sweat_smile: Instead of an...
