April 16, 20197 yr I created a new Linux Mint 19.1 VM. Accessing from my windows PC, I was wondering what will be the best way to access my VM, and allow it to have audio. Currently, I didn't passthrough any GPU, neither does my motherboard have sound card, so no sound as well.

Currently, I didn't passthrough any GPU, neither does my motherboard have sound card, so no sound as well. You can get a sound card emulated by editing the VM settings in XML mode and adding <sound model='ac97'> </sound> As to what the quality of sound you will get and what the best client to use is I am not sure.
April 16, 20197 yr @jang430 NoMachine and Teamviewer provide you the ability to route the audio via the remote connection. If there is any way to have VNC or a Linux RDP server providing the same functionality I would be also interested in.
April 16, 20197 yr Author I tried Teamviewer, I dislike the sluggishness. With VNC, seem to work very fast, and light. Though I don't have audio. Can't recall the experience with NoMachine though.
June 14, 20197 yr @jang430, I also have a few Linux Mint VMs on my unRAID server, also no GPU and no sound hardware. I want to access the VMs from my Windows 10 PC, but I was unable to get any sound via any remote desktopping, but thanks to @itimpi I am now trying the ac97 emulation. VNC is, as you say, fast, but I can't get any audio. I managed to use Windows Remote Desktop (after a bit of fiddling around in Mint), but YouTube performance was a little choppy, although audio was fine (for me). Best was NoMachine, smooth video and audio.
June 15, 20197 yr Author @sonofdbn, Thank you for your input. I tried Nomachine. I didn't like the many options presented when starting VM, seems overly complicated. So far, no other persons coming forward to give any better options :D I guess Nomachine is it.

I am confused NoMachine is installed inside the VM so I am not sure why you are mentioning options when starting the VM.
June 15, 20197 yr Author I have NoMachine installed on the VM itself. But on the desktop that is to access the VM, I also have NoMachine installed, to be able to access the VM.

OK . The first time you start NoMachine client it will take you through a tutorial on how you carry out various standard actions on the client. You can stop that displaying in subsequent launches so you get a minimal interface.
