Dude... I don't know who you are, but this is the best solution I have found anywhere to this issue. Your explanation above helped me get my sound working after spending hours online and on my own troubleshooting this exact problem -> Hyper-V on Windows 11, Ubuntu Desktop 22.04, no sound. Thank you!!!!

Hi, I used your instructions succesfully! Thank you very much!

The one step I couldn't complete succesfully was the 'Compile pulseaudio' step.
Instead I decided to risk it and just installed pulseaudio using 'apt install pulseaudio'.

The end result was the same, Audio now works on the VM. Putting this out there for those who have a similar problem like me.

I can confirm on 11/29/2023 that the above script works. But I would change line 23 to be more explicit,
Hyper-V\Set-VM "Ubuntu-Bravo" -EnhancedSessionTransportType HvSocket.
In my case, I also had VMware Powershell modules installed that caused an error without the Hyper-V prefix.
You may get Set-VM : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'EnhancedSessionTransportType'.
Because the VMware module also contains a Set-VM command.

I never understood why Microsoft never provided something like this for official docs... This is pretty much what I've been looking at for the last 3 years and have found it finally! Nice work dude! - The only change I would make is to move it to a repo and create a shell script for a quicker install :)

@ANRCorleone It didn't work for me unfortunately

My configuration:

Ubuntu 22.04 with Hyper V + WIN11.

All commands were successful except for the command : build/src/daemon/pulseaudio -n -F build/src/daemon/default.pa -p $(pwd)/build/src/
(see attachments)

E:[pulseaudio] pid.c: Daemon already running.
E:[pulseaudio] main.c: pa_pid_file_create () non riuscita

Suggestions?

thanks!

@Bouncerman82 sorry for the late response, I had notifications off. I haven't used this script for some time now - WSL2 with its gui has been working great for me. I hope the last suggestion worked for you

Does not work on 24.04

Does not work on 24.04

For me xrdp and enhanced session worked. I cannot make the pulseaudio work but before upgrading I got a notification by Ubuntu that pulseaudio is not supported.
