These drivers are a tiny bit iffy, as only PulseAudio and ich9 seem to work well in Windows. It requires extra environment variables to be passed to qemu, such as more often audio interrupt and smaller buffer for low latency. I also had problems setting it to output 32-bit depth in Windows. That said, given real-time configured PulseAudio server (in a real-time configured sound vm) it can deliver latencies low enough for recording monitoring on KVM (increase scheduler granularity) and on Xen with rtds scheduler. Getting stubdom to set up correctly required some scripting. Make sure to enable threadirqs in the host and that VM. (kernel boot option) You can have more than one device and each shows up as a separate stream. Surround sound is supported. > > (3) Xen upstream PV audio support.

Sorta works but is Xen only. R. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-devel" group.
