Adding sound hardware to any of my XEN virtual machines results in failure to create domain.
Virtual Machine Manager 4.0.0 displays this message.
Error starting domain: internal error: libxenlight failed to create new domain ‘name’
Configuring without a sound device allows the vmachines to work fine. This was not an issue in and before Leap 15.2, but after two OS updates and several XEN, qemu, and libvirt patches, the issue persists. My mainboard sound hardware works well though I was unable to set it up with Yast, I had to edit the /etc/modprobe.d/50-sound.conf file. I’ve tried to modify the vmachine config files [sudo virsh edit ] but after rebooting, the files revert back to their original state.
