Xen 4.1 sound in windows 7 x64 domU

I'm trying to setup a windows 7 x64 domU where I pass through a GPU to
the vm, and I've gotten everything working except for sound. I would
like to be able to use an emulated sound device but there appears to be
no working drivers for AC97, sb16 or es1370. Are these antiquated
devices really the only types of sound card that can be emulated with
xen? Using the hdmi audio of the GPU is unfortunately not an option and
neither is passing through the entire host audio adapter. Aside from
buying a USB sound card and passing that through has anybody got any
ideas how I might get this working? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Matthew Dean

Hi Matthew,

same scenario and problem here.
for now i'm living with a passed-through usb soundcard - cheap one with no
fancyness at all, but its working great (sound out of it goes to line in on
the dom0-soundcard)...

i guess we have to wait until anthony finishes upstream-qemu (which brings hda
sound, which in turn has a 64bit driver in windows) which is almost finished
afaik but missing some gpu-passthrough-specific stuff...

Greetings!

P.s:
i fiddled around with a software emuled soundcard which streams to a process in
dom0 ... but the latencys were horrible and all in all the usb soundcard was
just too cheap to bother with it longer... but i admit its ugly , just like
hardwarebased-solutions always are...
