  1. Hi All, I haven't see any posts in regards to using SPICE in 6.2.0-rc, but thought I'd share my experience for others looking to use SPICE (which, by the way, is incredibly slick). Unfortunately, it seems like SPICE support isn't included in the WebGUI yet, so it does require a bit of manual intervention with the XML file. NOTE: This example does NOT implement any security features whatsoever. If you don't want your VMs to be open to everyone, read up a little about implementing TLS or SSL. Step 1: Create your VM as you normally would, have it set for VNC. Step 2: Add the SPICE <graphics> section (overwrite any existing <graphics> section) <graphics type='spice' port='20001' autoport='no' listen='0.0.0.0'> <listen type='address' address='0.0.0.0'/> </graphics> Step 3: Add the SPICE Audio section (slot 0x06 is an unused address in my config, adjust as necessary so it isn't a duplicate). SPICE will pass audio from VM to guest. <sound model='ac97'> <alias name='sound0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x06' function='0x0'/> </sound> Step 4: Add the QXL video section if it doesn't already exist <video> <model type='qxl' ram='65536' vram='65536' vgamem='16384' heads='1'/> <alias name='video0'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/> </video> And voila! You should be able to use something like virt-viewer on a Windows PC to access your VM GUI along with passthrough audio. This is very basic configuration, there are tons of other options that may or may not work yet such as guest additions (copy/paste, folder sharing, USB redirection, etc). Obviously this is a sort of workaround until the unRAID team officially slots in SPICE support - though including SPICE in the builds is a step in the right direction (I'm not a VNC fan).
