One of the essential features of QEMU is its audio backend support, which enables virtual machines to communicate with the host system's audio devices. The Pipewire audio backend in QEMU provides a powerful and flexible solution for managing audio in virtual machines. In this presentation, we will discuss the Pipewire audio backend in QEMU. By understanding how Pipewire works and how to configure it in QEMU, users can improve the audio experience in their virtual machines.

The presentation is suitable for anyone interested in virtualization, audio systems, or QEMU. It is particularly relevant for system administrators, developers, and audio engineers who want to improve the audio experience in their virtual machines. The objective of this presentation is to provide an overview of the Pipewire audio backend in QEMU and discuss other audio backends.

Key points to be covered in the presentation include:

• Introduction to QEMU audio backends and their importance in virtual machines
• Overview of Pipewire and its role as a versatile audio backend in QEMU
• Configuring QEMU to use Pipewire as the audio backend
• Troubleshooting and common issues with QEMU audio backends
• Best practices for optimizing audio performance in virtual machines
