'''NOTE: Since the release of Looking Glass B6 which has native audio support built in, this is no longer the preferred method unless you require audio from the VM while the LG client application is not running'''

QEMU's JACK backend provides the best audio quality out of all the available options (Scream, PulseAudio, etc.). One of the easiest ways to leverage the JACK support is by using PipeWire, which emulates JACK.
Once you shutdown your VM and restart it, you should see an emulated HD audio device, and any sound should go into PipeWire. If you don't hear anything, check your patchbay connections.
== Allow QEMU user access to your PipeWire socket ==
We will assuming your username is <code>example</code>, your user ID is 1000, and your virtual machine is called <code>win10</code>. We will also assume the QEMU user is <code>libvirt-qemu</code>, but this varies based on distro. We will be duplicating the socket as <code>/srv/win10/pipewire-0</code>, but the directory can be changed.
