no audio in KVM virtual machines : cannot select alsa or pa

[brian mullan]

I am on Ubuntu 13.10 desktop
16GB ram
asus sabertooth 990fx r2.0 motherboard
amd 8346 cpu
nvidia gtx650 video card

Since upgrading to Ubuntu 13.10 audio no longer works in KVM.
Checking SYSLOG I found this error being logged:

Oct 31 15:32:31 bmullan-virtual-machine pulseaudio[1814]: [alsa-source-ID 21 Analog] alsa-source.c: ALSA woke us up to read new data from the device, but there was actually nothing to read!

which emulated sound card are you using inside kvm ?

[brian mullan (bmullan)]

I've tried:
ICH6
- that was the orig default in the VM when created
AC97
I cleared syslog
- I changed to AC97 (shutdown vm and restarted it & verified it was now set to AC97)
and got this in syslog which appears the SAME as with ICH6 despite having switch to AC97:

Nov 1 06:27:52 bmullan-virtual-machine pulseaudio[1799]: [alsa-sink-Intel ICH] alsa-sink.c: ALSA woke us up to write new data to the device, but there was actually nothing to write!

attached the /var/log/syslog of the AC97 vm start
note it shows AC97 clocking messages but it the messages above still show [alsa-sink-intel ICH]
maybe I don't understand that message but it looks like sound never changes from ICH even if virt-manager indicates it is AC97

[Raymond (superquad-vortex2)]

post the pulseaudio verbose log inside kvm

what kind of application can reproduce your case ?

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio/Log

[brian mullan (bmullan)]

see attached pulseverbose.log

In the KVM 13.10 VM ... all I've been doing is using firefox to go to YouTube and then start a YouTube video up.
But no sound/audio is presented.

are these messages related to the capture device in your real machine ?

which is "alsa source-ID 21 Analog" ?

[brian mullan (bmullan)]

Raymond...

Sorry, not sure what you mean by -- which is "alsa source-ID 21 Analog" ?

Also... the previous messages are from /var/log/syslog inside the KVM VM Ubuntu 13.10 running image... not from the Host OS.

[Raymond (superquad-vortex2)]

do you mean the emulated hda sound card (QEMU_HDA_ID_DUPLEX) ?

which backend audio are you using ?

alsa , pulseaudio or sdl

[brian mullan (bmullan)]

Raymond... pls keep in mind I'm not a developer. I want to help with this problem but you have to give me end-user understandable questions.

All of this is on a 2nd machine of mine with a fresh Ubuntu 13.10 install on a new hard disk.
The KVM is the default install.
The KVM VM was created using the default Ubuntu 13.10 Desktop ISO image.

Note that I started with this 2nd machine because my primary Ubuntu 13.10 machine (which was an upgrade from 13.04) was having the same problems.

you can select different backend by export QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=

there are other options TIMER_PERIOD, LOG_TO_MONITOR, ....

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/saucy/qemu-kvm/saucy/view/head:/audio/alsaaudio.c

for alsa backend

there are options VERBOSE , DAC_DEV, and ADC_DEV to select hw instead of default pulse

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/saucy/qemu-kvm/saucy/view/head:/audio/paaudio.c

for pulseaudio backend

tjere are options SERVER, SINK, SOURCE and SAMPLES

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/saucy/qemu-kvm/saucy/view/head:/audio/ossaudio.c

for oss

there are options DEBUG, DAC_DEV, ADC_DEV, ....

there are several emulated sound cards

[brian mullan (bmullan)]

Raymond.. I thought I'd check because I'm not sure if you are waiting on any info from me or not

[Raymond (superquad-vortex2)]

do you mean audio work with the emulated hda sound card before you upgrade ? or just other emulated sound card work before upgrade since the emulated hda sound card is quite new compared with emulated AC97 sound card ?

Since upgrading to Ubuntu 13.10 audio no longer works in KVM.
 Checking SYSLOG I found this error being logged:

[Raymond (superquad-vortex2)]

what do mean when you say sound not working ?

> Title: PCI/internal sound card not detected

[Raymond (superquad-vortex2)]

just want to verify which audio backend you are using ?

what is the value of QEMU_AUDIO_DRV ?

[brian mullan (bmullan)]

Raymond..

I am using virt-manager not the cli to create/manage my KVM VM's.

I did check in case QEMU_AUDIO_DRV is supposed to be an environment variable either in the Host OS or the VM itself so just in case I did check and there is no ENV present (printenv QEMU_AUDIO_DRV) in either.

I also checked the VM's xml file /etc/libvirt/qemu/<vm name.xml> and its not present there.

If its not an environment variable but a setting in some config file ... where do I look?

[brian mullan (bmullan)]

Raymond...
Here is some more info. I created a 2nd KVM VM using the same ubuntu 13.10 desktop .ISO and all default virt-manager settings

once the new VM (called test) was created again there was no Audio.

So I checked:

No, wait. If I specify AC97 audio when setting up the vm in virt-manager (by specifying "customize config before install"), I do see the QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=none in env variable, but kvm is started with -device AC97,...

Can you please re-try specifying AC97 when creating the VM and see if you get working sound?

AC97 is the emulated sound card inside KVM, you must configure kvm to use a backend to access your real sound card

[Serge Hallyn (serge-hallyn)]

Hi,

ok, after some testing: the problem is actually that the libvirt-qemu
user is not allowed to access some files. I've not tracked down exactly
which ones are the problem, but when I run

 kvm -hda x.img -cdrom ubuntu_precise-desktop-amd64.iso -m 1G \
 -smp 2 -vnc :1 -device AC97,id=sound0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4

as user serge or user root, it works. If as root si do

 sudo -u libvirt-qemu -- kvm -hda x.img -cdrom \
 ubuntu_precise-desktop-amd64.iso -m 1G -smp 2 -vnc :1 -device \
 AC97,id=sound0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4

then I get no sound. (I'd have expected that adding libvirt-qemu to the
audio group which owns /dev/snd/* would have sufficed, but it didn't.)

Note that I don't consider this bad. People run >1 VMs and wouldn't
want all to have sound. Note also that vnc does not - and never has -
forward sound, so if you are accessing the vm remotely, you'll get
video on the remote host, and audio on the kvm server.

A workaround would be to use spice, which does forward sound in addition
to improved video, and is available as of raring.

[Serge Hallyn (serge-hallyn)]

I suspect we can remove pulseaudio from the list of affected packages, but I'm not 100% certain. It comes down to why the libvirt-qemu user is not allowed to use pulseaudio devices, and where the cofniguration needs to be chagned to allow it.

[Raymond (superquad-vortex2)]

but pulseaudio backend allow you to change the address of pulseaudio server

does this mean that you can send the audio to the remote pa sink and souce even your machine run kvm don't have any real sound card ?

for always, you can also specify DAC_DEV and ADC_DEV for different sound cards on your real machine or device null if you have more than one vm

Both are built-in. the driver list is "pa,alsa,dsl,oss" (in order).

any status on this bug? The last note was 11-13-2013 by Serge

[Raymond (superquad-vortex2)]

> dolog ("Run with -audio-help to list available drivers\n");

did you see any avaiable drivers when you use "-audio-help" ?

[Serge Hallyn (serge-hallyn)]

Hi Brian,

so the first steps in fixing this are as follows:

1. in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf add the lines
vnc_allow_host_audio = 1
user=bmullan
group=bmullan

2. in /etc/init/libvirt-bin.conf, add the line
        export QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=pa
right before the final exec, so 'script' block at the bottom of the file
becomes:

script
        [ -r /etc/default/libvirt-bin ] && . /etc/default/libvirt-bin
        export QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=pa
        exec /usr/sbin/libvirtd $libvirtd_opts
end script

3. Add the following lines to /etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/libvirt-qemu :

  @{HOME}/.config/pulse/cookie rwk,
  @{HOME}/.config/pulse/** rwkl,
  @{HOME}/.config/ r,
  @{HOME}/.config/pulse/ rw,
  owner /run/shm/pulse-* rw,
  /usr/bin/pulseaudio PUx,
  /etc/pulse/daemon.conf r,
  /tmp/pulse*/*.lock rwk,
  /proc/* r,
  /proc/*/fd/ r,

With all this, though I still do *not* have working sound. There may be a
pulseaudio server setting I haven't found, or there may be a silent apparmor
denial.

If we get this working then we can put most of the apparmor lines in the
policy, and to put hints in the config files for the rest.

[Serge Hallyn (serge-hallyn)]

At this point I don't know where the problem lies. When I follow

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio/Log

I don't see any attemps to connect by qemu. (Should I?)

I've disabled seccomp (which I think is disabled by default), allowed all capabilities in the apparmor profile, and checked that /dev/snd/* is allowed by cgroups and the qemu process runs with full capabilities (in /proc/$$/status) as user serge:serge and once as serge:kvm (as a test).

I wrapped qemu in a sh script which runs it under strace -f. The strace output is attached here. Note that the EACCES for opening /dev/shm/pulse* is for files owned by root - the files owned by serge were able to be opened.

I see an attempt to attach to /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket which seems to succeed.

At this point I don't see why this fails to give me sound, while a manual 'QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=pa kvm -hda x.img -cdrom saucy.iso -m 1024 -vnc :1' succeeds.

[Serge Hallyn (serge-hallyn)]

@Brian,

if possible, could you please follow the steps in comment #40 and also comment out 'deny capability kill' in /etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/libvirt-qemu, restart libvirt (sudo stop libvirt-bin; sudo start libvirt-bin) or reboot, and see if that works for you?

It is possible that my failure is due to a change in 14.04.

[brian mullan (bmullan)]

Serge

I made the changes in comment #40 and the extra change in comment #42 but after reboot when I started Virt-Manager I immediately got a dialog box stating:

Unable to connect to libvirt.

Verify that:
 - The 'libvirt-bin' package is installed
 - The 'libvirtd' daemon has been started
 - You are member of the 'libvirtd' group

Reverting those changes out and Virt-Manager works ok and no dialog box.

[Raymond (superquad-vortex2)]

are there any way to select alsa as backend ?

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound.git/plain/Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio.txt

for a desktop , you can enable independent headphone by specify hint in early patching to use alt analog device 2 for playback and capture (DAC_DEV=hw:0,2 and ADC_DEV=hw:0,2)

- indep_hp (bool): provide the independent headphone PCM stream and
  the corresponding mixer control, if available

> are there any way to select alsa as backend ?

Using 'export QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=alsa' in /etc/init/libvirt-bin should
switch from pulse to alsa. Still no sound though when I do that.

(Sorry if I misunderstood the question)

[Serge Hallyn (serge-hallyn)]

@Brian,

Well shoot, I can't think what would have caused that. There may be
useful info in /var/log/upstart/libvirt-bin.log or

To be clear, the qemu process is launched as my userid and
/proc/$$/environ shows QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=pa. The 'outout' file
in comment #41 shows the strace output which shows qemu
opening some pulse cookies and doing some dbus transactions,
presumably related to pulse.

Libvirt / Virt-Manager and host Alsa based sound
======================================
I have battled the same problem ... and managed to get it working on Trusty

(1) this is all down to AppArmor
(2) In order to run ALSA you will need the following apparmor entries, preferably in ...abstractions/libvirt-qemu
 # ================ Changes ================ #
  /{dev,run}/shm/pulse-shm* rw,
  @{HOME}/.config/puls** rwk,
  @{HOME}/* r,
  # ================ Changes ================ #

In my case I run libvirt as Root because it is accessing virtio and vga passthrough. I've also added dev/vfio to support vfio based PCI passthrough ie.
  /dev/vfio/* rw,

The VM definition xml contains the following
  <qemu:commandline>
    <qemu:env name='QEMU_ALSA_DAC_BUFFER_SIZE' value='512'/>
    <qemu:env name='QEMU_ALSA_DAC_PERIOD_SIZE' value='170'/>
    <qemu:env name='QEMU_AUDIO_DRV' value='alsa'/>
  </qemu:commandline>

This setup works very nicely with the following (both defined and working, in guest select preferred mode, I prefer the HDA device)
   <sound model='ac97'>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x02' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/>
    </sound>
  <qemu:commandline>
    <qemu:arg value='-device'/>
    <qemu:arg value='ioh3420,bus=pcie.0,addr=1c.1,multifunction=on,port=2,chassis=2,id=root.2'/>
    <qemu:arg value='-device'/>
    <qemu:arg value='ich9-intel-hda,bus=root.2'/>
    <qemu:arg value='-device'/>
    <qemu:arg value='hda-duplex,bus=hda.0'/>
  </qemu:commandline>

I prefer the second (HDA) for quality - Note that I am using the Q35 motherboard. Furthermore Pulseaudio was much easier to get working BUT running system wide (because libvirt runs as root) is not good and it has terrible lag and is not suitable for somepurposes eg. game machines

[Raymond (superquad-vortex2)]

AC97 is emulated sound card not any pci passthrough

AFAIK, the emulated hda work in Ubuntu 11.10 but no longer work at later versions

[redger (redgerhoo)]

the emulated HDA works fine in Windows 7 VM using the above, with proviso that I run VM as root, ie.
/etc/libvirt/qemu.conf includes (in my case, which works)
user = "root"
group = "root"
cgroup_device_acl = [
    "/dev/null", "/dev/full", "/dev/zero",
    "/dev/random", "/dev/urandom",
    "/dev/ptmx", "/dev/kvm", "/dev/kqemu",
    "/dev/rtc","/dev/hpet", "/dev/vfio/vfio",
    "/dev/vfio/1", "/dev/vfio/14", "/dev/vfio/15", "/dev/vfio/16", "/dev/vfio/17",
    "/dev/shm", "/root/.config/pulse", "/dev/snd",
]
nographics_allow_host_audio = 1
security_require_confined = 0
hugetlbfs_mount = "/dev/hugepages"
clear_emulator_capabilities = 0
relaxed_acs_check = 1

If using VNC rather than Spice, you may also need
vnc_allow_host_audio = 1

and /etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/libvirt/qemu contains the following additional lines (in my case)
  /{dev,run}/shm/pulse-shm* rw,
  @{HOME}/.config/puls** rwk,
  @{HOME}/** r,
  /root/.config/puls** rwk,
  /root/.asoundrc r,
  /dev/vfio/* rw,

This works nicely with a Windows 7 guest using the following xml (where a graphics card is apssed through at 01:00.0 and a USB card is passed at 02:00.0, note that the inbuilt audio device on the graphics card is NOT passed through i'ts still attached to pci-stub)
