Re: How am I supposed to use the -audiodev option?
After scouring through sources and commit logs, I was able to figure it out. To direct both the pc speaker and an ac97 device to the host's alsa: qemu ... \ -audiodev alsa,id=1 -global isa-pcspk.audiodev=1 -soundhw pcspk \ -audiodev alsa,id=2 -device AC97,audiodev=2 Setting the same audiodev= for both the pcs speaker and the sound card results in the last part of the beep being played again when the sound card is opened. Unlike the argument to -soundw which is a lowercase "ac97", the argument to device should be an uppercase "AC97" > No matter what I try, it keeps slapping me on the face with a > "audiodev default parameter is deprecated, please specify > audiodev=foo" warning: Actually, though this is not documented anywhere, it's the -soundhw option which is kind of deprecated, as mentioned in this commit: https://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=commit;h=af2041ed2d6 > Also, the documentation is as obtuse as humanly possible, and gives > no hints whatsoever to how to emulate multiple sound cards and direct > them to different backends. With two soundcards, one of them redirected to a wav file: qemu .. \ -audiodev alsa,id=1 -global isa-pcspk.audiodev=1 -soundhw pcspk \ -audiodev alsa,id=2 -device AC97,audiodev=2 \ -audiodev wav,id=3,path=/tmp/qemu.wav -device AC97,audiodev=3
Re: How am I supposed to use the -audiodev option?
I use
-audiodev pa,id=pa1,server=`pactl info | grep 'Server String' | awk '{print
$3}'`
On a gentoo system without systemd. The arch wiki has more information under
PCI pass through.

Fwd: How am I supposed to use the -audiodev option?
this should've gone to the list, sorry On Sun, Oct 27, 2019 at 1:23 PM Lukas Straub wrote: > > No matter what I try, it keeps slapping me on the face with a > > "audiodev default parameter is deprecated, please specify > > audiodev=foo" warning: > > > > $ qemu -soundhw ac97 -audiodev alsa,id=alsa > > audio: Device ac97: audiodev default parameter is deprecated, please > > specify audiodev=alsa > From qemu's manpage: ... > $ qemu-system-x86_64 -audio-help ... > -audiodev id=alsa,driver=alsa This is not answering the question: "-audiodev id=alsa,driver=alsa" is absolutely identical to "-audiodev alsa,id=alsa" and qemu -soundhw ac97 -audiodev id=alsa,driver=alsa will generate the same spurious warning. I'm using the latest git qemu, if this makes any difference.

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
How am I supposed to use the -audiodev option?
No matter what I try, it keeps slapping me on the face with a "audiodev default parameter is deprecated, please specify audiodev=foo" warning: $ qemu -soundhw ac97 -audiodev alsa,id=alsa audio: Device ac97: audiodev default parameter is deprecated, please specify audiodev=alsa $ qemu -audiodev alsa,id=alsa -soundhw ac97 audio: Device ac97: audiodev default parameter is deprecated, please specify audiodev=alsa Of course, trying to specify anything like "audiodev=alsa" anywhere results in an error. And omitting either the -audiodev or the -soundhw option results in no sound in the guest. I'll have to either grit my teeth or use the "deprecated" QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=alsa qemu -soundhw ac97 and try to forget about it. Also, the "documentation" is as obtuse as humanly possible, and gives no hints whatsoever to how to emulate multiple sound cards and direct them to different backends.
