    KVM Hosts with newer kernels and Sound on Windows Guests - Sound fixed


    Hi there
    If you are having trouble with Sound on Windows Guests when using KVM with recent kernels then install the gst-plugins-good as libvirt changed a bit.

    For Arch / Manjaro :
    sudo pacman -S extra/gst-plugins-good (or simply sudo pacman -S gst-plugins-good) and then reboot / power on the guest.

    For other distros use your package manager.

    Working fine now with kernel 5.10.16

    Cheers

    Jimbo
