The new log has a CLI flag
-audiodev id=audio1,driver=none
but the old log has an env variable
QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=none
which should be functionally identical, as QEMU will parse them both
to the same internal config.
The obvious difference in the logs which can cause your guest to fail
is the different QEMU version. The old log shows QEMU 5.2.0, while the
new log shows QEMU 6.0.0
thanks for the help, I went to look why the efi fw and found out that the nvram entry in
/etc/libvirt/eqmu.conf was deleted upon update.
I'm sure fixing this will solve he boot issue, hopefully audio issue too.
Thanks,
Dagg.
