Hey all,
I have a Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop running in an KVM environment with X2Go. Everything is working great but the sound redirection doesn't work. I have assigned a soundcard to the KVM machine which is detected correctly by Ubuntu. First I tried to use PulseAudio as transport in PyHoca but this doesn't worked. I googled a few minutes and found that there are often problems with PulseAudio, so I installed esd to test with esd. This also didn't worked. So for now I don't know what could be wrong. The X2Go server scripts for PyHoca and python-x2go scripts are installed on the server, I can control the sound options on Ubuntu (also in the X2Go session not only from the VNC console) but no sound is there. The client system is Windows 7 at the moment with the newest PyHoca version.
Does someone has an idea what could be wrong and what I have to do to get sound input and output to work?
Hope that someone could help me.
Best Regards

I have just tested sound between Linux (PyHoca-GUI) and Linux (Ubuntu 12.04).
What I do is:
o launch pulseaudio -D on the client-side o launch PyHoca-GUI with Pulseaudio enabled on the client-side o start an X2Go session (e.g. a Terminal Session) o run the command paplay /usr/share/sound/pop.wav
I do not have a native Windows client here-around, so I cannot say
anything about Windows.
Can you check if sound works for clients with Linux? Testing from
Windows and Linux can narrow down: is it a server or client issue.
Also: please test with X2Go Client. Do you have sound, then?
Also: you do not have to enable a virtual sound card in KVM to have
sound with X2Go. I use KVM, as well, and always unconfigure the audio
devices (which get into the VM setup by default when configured with
virt-manager).
