Hi All,
So i finally got around to setting up a windows 11 GPU pass through with looking glass on my new ryzen rig but i have a few issues that are driving me nuts.
Im running Arch with KDE Plasma 6 with pulse audio and pipewire.

First issue is for the life of me i cant get audio working through lg(b7), i followed the instructions on the lg site and added the audio line to my vm xml config. Previously on my old rig i just passed through an extra audio card so i have never messed with audio through lg.

Second issue i have never had before, while using lg my clients keyboard kwin shortcuts do not work so my mouse and keyboard are locked to the host, previously iv’e always been able to use them while on lg(b6).

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

EDIT - Got my audio working by following this lg-wiki Using_JACK_and_PipeWire article.

Still having issues with the keyboard though.

Ok well i figured it all out myself lol.
Keyboard issue was fixed by editing the looking-glass-client.ini
and setting grabKeyboard=no
Now i can set my looking glass on a different desktop and move freely back and forth without additional key presses to release the mouse and keyboard! :slight_smile:
