I have performed an installation of Rocky 8.4 in a Centos 7.9 hyperviser. Everything went well except i can not access the usb ports and the sound is not active. I have the sound set to ich6. Your help would be apprecated. Greg Ennis ---

I was able to figure out the usb problem, I just need to authenticate the usb with the hyperviser. I still have not been able to get the sound to work. I would sure appreciate your help. Greg Ennis ---

do you have qemu-guest-agent or equivalent installed. In proxmox on one of my vm’s i just added a sound device (proxmox uses qemu vm’s) and I already had the /usr/bin/qemu-ga running /usr/bin/qemu-ga --method=virtio-serial --path=/dev/virtio-ports/org.qemu.guest\_agent.0 --blacklist=guest-file-open,guest-fil e-close,guest-file-read,guest-file-write,guest-file-seek,guest-file-flush,guest-exec,guest-exec-status -F/etc/qemu-ga/fsfreeze-hook and my audio device is as follows. 02:0c.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) Subsystem: Red Hat, Inc. QEMU Virtual Machine Physical Slot: 12-3 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 36 Memory at fe600000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: [60] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+ Kernel driver in use: snd\_hda\_intel Kernel modules: snd\_hda\_intel in other words it does not have the Capabilities: \ that you have. i cant test that the sound works for you but the change in the status between my system and yours if you dont have the /usr/bin/qemu-ga may be an option to try. regards peter
