I’m using Ubuntu as main OS tho the Arch wiki info is useful for the majority of it, I’ll probably give it another go soon. Ideally I should be able to setup a pulseaudio server as a system service and have my desktop environment connect to it as a client then because the qemu hook script kills your DE, it should be free to connect to the pulseaudio server. I honestly don’t know why I was having that issue in which I couldnt use my audio device on Gnome but I think it is because instead of connecting to the pulseaudio server it was trying to start another pulseaudio server. I just ended up giving up but might be a good time to try and play around with it again.
