Did you check that the VM can talk to the host? You could do so by installing the sndio library and utils on the VM and test with aucat that everything works.
Re: Bidirectional audio between OpenBSD sndiod <-> Debian pulseaudio
Hi, Great experience! But I have no possibility to recompile each sound producer software to have sndio support. So my way is to use additional layer of well implemented sound architecture and it add additional layer to sound system for sure. I've tried to use alsa-sndio module from https://github.com/Duncaen/alsa-sndio Module builds successfully, but $ sudo alsactl init returns it can't find any audio hardware (Debian system is headless and run on VM). Tried to add snd-dummy module from https://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-dummy $ sudo modprobe snd-dummy $ sudo alsactl init Found hardware: "Dummy" "Dummy Mixer" "" "" "" But how to output from alsa-sndio module using alsa is not clear for me. I've created /etc/asound.conf as required by developers of alsa-sndio module. $ cat /etc/asound.conf pcm.!default ( type sndio device "snd@192.168.33.1/0" alsa don't use this config. Do you have some experience how to use alsa modules to iteract with OpenBSD sndiod server?

Hi, These days I use a simiar setup with Alpine running in a OpenBSD-hosted VM. The main purpose of sndiod -L option is to handle such setups (don't forget to copy your ~/.sndio/cookie on the VM). In the past, I used a lot Debian, but on a real machine. I didn't try to involve pulseaudio or any alsa tweakery, to limit the number of audio software layers and in turn get the maximum audio stability. So I just rebuild the software I needed with sndio support enabled (that was mostly firefox and few audio players).
Bidirectional audio between OpenBSD sndiod <-> Debian pulseaudio
Hi list, It is great to have bidirectional audio between OpenBSD host and Debian guest (headless). I hope I move in a right way to make this thing working. Required configuration: mic-in on OpenBSD host >> Debian VMM guest audio-out from Debian VMM guest >> OpenBSD host Does anybody using pulseaudio or any other driver to have bidirectional network audio stream between VMM guest and OpenBSD host system? Martin
