[Spice-devel] No Sound with RemoteViewer on OSX Client

[Matthew Sienko]

 Thanks for the reply. I installed gst-plugins-good using brew and I still can't get the sound to work. I attached the output of remote viewer with the --spice-debug flag. I connected to a running windows guest, tried to play a sound, then disconnected.
Thanks, -Matt

This looks very similar to the following issue:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/spice/spice-gtk/-/merge_requests/7
So I'd guess that you don't have the gst-plugins-good package installed.

Apart from these errors, I think that you should also see a warning
starting with "Failed to create a pipeline...", correct?

If installing the mentioned package doesn't help, please run remote
viewer with the --spice-debug option and send the log here.

Thanks,
Jakub
