KVM/QEMU audio question (probably RTFM)

[Stephen Adler]

I've experienced the same problem. The trick for me was to make sure 
there were no other applications using the audio output. You neeed to 
shut off Firefox in case you watched a Utube or something. Once I had 
all other possible audio apps shut off, restarting the virtual system 
picked up the audio.....
