[Bug 419182] Re: KVM and audio driver in Windows 7

[Aaron Roydhouse]

>From reading the VirtualBox site they had the same problem, that none of
the emulated sound cards would work with 64bit Windows 7/2008 as they
are all too old chipsets. They solved it by adding a new sound card to
Virtual Box ('Intel HD Audio'). But appears this remains a compatibility
'bug' for kvm/qemu.

This bug has been marked invalid, however I don't think that is a
sensible position; as the only viable fix can be a kvm/qemu change, as
it seems unlikely anyone is going to write 64bit Windows drivers for the
old unsupported chipsets that kvm/qemu provides.

That is kinda like marking a bug about no VM IDE hard disk emulation
support as invalid because the VM provides MFM hard disk emulation :-)
Even emulated hardware need to keep up with technology.
