Tails 6.5 + HiddenVM audio not work in guest machines. Fix/Solution ?

[jalioriorio]

Hi,

I currently have an issue with audio playing inside my Whonix workstation, Windows 11 and other Linux destros. I was unable to get sound working on any.
Host: Tails 6.5
Guest: Whonix 17.2.0.7
Appliance: HiddenVM v1.53(latest version)
Sound card: Tried with standart build in sound card, Wireless headphones+dongle, Wired headphones. No audio at all in guest machines.
All Audio devices passed sound test in Tails and works flawlessly
All Host Audio Driver/Audio Controller combinations in Virtual Box have been tested and unfortunately none were able to get sound working
I hope to find a fix for this issue because I really need my audio.

Endless thanks to everyone working on this amazing project!!!!!!!!

This worked for me for version 6.5. Haven't tested on latest version.

mkdir -p ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire-pulse.conf.d/
echo 'pulse.cmd = [{ cmd = "load-module" args = "module-native-protocol-tcp" "auth-ip-acl=127.0.0.1" }]' > ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire-pulse.conf.d/tcp.conf
sudo sed -i '/default-server/c\default-server = tcp:127.0.0.1:4713' /etc/pulse/client.conf
sudo iptables -I OUTPUT -o lo -p tcp -m owner --uid-owner clearnet --dport 4713 -j ACCEPT
systemctl --user restart pipewire-pulse
