I’ve recently migrated from a raspberry pi 4b to a dell Optiplex running Proxmox and I’m having a lot of fun with it.

One of the services I have running is Raspotify, which allowed me to plug my pi into a speaker and run Spotify through it.

I had a quick go passing the audio jack through to my HA VM and it just stopped working completely. Only after removing the pass-through did it work again.

So if anyone has managed it, what do? Do I use SPICE as a driver or none? Which device is it?

Thanks

    Hmmm… I do have audio coming out of a guest VM under proxmox, but I’m passing through a whole GPU which includes audio through its HDMI.

    The on-board audio might not be in an iommu group that can be passed without breaking something else, which would likely prevent booting the host correctly.

    Honestly, I think I’d just go with a USB dongle for the audio. Easier to passthrough, likely better audio quality too and shouldn’t be too expensive.
    You can pass either a USB device id or a port (or group of ports, depending on how it’s grouped)

      This is the easiest answer. I tried to get audio into a Guacamole VM years ago. USB adapter was the easy win. Never actually found the resource number for anything close to what i wanted.

      I hadn’t even considered that as a solution, and I’ve literally just bought a usb to 3.5mm for my main PC.

      Thanks for the idea, I’ll purchase another cable.

      I have a bloody drawer FULL of cables because I do stuff like this. To the point where I’m wondering if the meaning of life for a human male is to collect as many cables for various devices as possible before you die lol.
