Package: qemu-system-x86
Version: 1:5.2+dfsg-11+deb11u2
===Error message===
Error changing VM configuration: unsupported configuration: unknown audio type
'pulseaudio'
===Steps to reproduce===
1) Create a VM.
2) Remove the default sound card.
3) Edit VM config to use the following anywhere in <devices>:
<sound model='ich9'>
<codec type='micro'/>
<audio id='1'/>
</sound>
<audio id='1' type='pulseaudio' serverName='/run/user/1000/pulse/native'/>
I thought setting it to 'pa' would work but it didn't. I tried 'pulseaudio',
'pulse', and 'pa'. Neither worked.
I was using this article as a general guide. (Section 8.2: Passing audio from
virtual machine to host via PulseAudio)
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PCI_passthrough_via_OVMF#Passing_audio_from_virtual_machine_to_host_via_PulseAudio
==Additional information==
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -audio-help
Environment variable based configuration deprecated.
Please use the new -audiodev option.
Equivalent -audiodev to your current environment variables:
(Since you didn't specify QEMU_AUDIO_DRV, I'll list all possibilities)
-audiodev id=pa,driver=pa
-audiodev id=alsa,driver=alsa
-audiodev id=oss,driver=oss
-audiodev id=none,driver=none

RHEL(I used AlmaLinux 9) has a separate package named "qemu-kvm-audio-pa". I
installed it and tried to make a VM and it works there but not under Debian.
This problem seems to be Debian specific.

I installed qemu and virt-manager from bullseye-backports and the issue went
away. I did not try to replicate this issue on bookworm or sid but I think it's
okay to assume that this issue doesn't affect them because their qemu version
is newer.
There's no issue to begin with.
The module you're trying to use is in qemu-system-gui package.
This is a package which is recommended by other qemu-system-*
packages.
When you initially installed qemu you didn't install qemu-system-gui,
most likely due to APT::Install-Recommends=false in effect. When
you upgraded it, this setting wasn't in effect anymore, and hence
qemu-system-gui has been installed. Or maybe something else happened
which caused this package to be installed.
Basically, when you turn off installing of recommends, it is assumed
you know what you're doing.
Thanks,
