KVM/QEMU audio question (probably RTFM)

[Stephen Adler]

One other bit about sound. I'm reinstalling windows vista using kvm/qemu 
and I'm going through this painful two stage install. (Windows home 
first, then business second as an update to home...) Sound never worked 
under home, but once the business version was installed, the virtual 
system recognized the "sound card". At that point I was able to hear the 
various click/action sounds snips of windows. So you may have to make 
sure WVUltimate has all its updates so that it installs the right sound 
driver on the windows side....
