I have been trying to receive audio over ethernet from a completely separate device to a VM in Qubes OS and have so far been unable to do so. I already have a working audio qube so it would just be a matter of getting one of my VMs to receive audio.
As I am not very familiar with Jack or Alsa and I have had some difficulties using built in features for pulseaudio or Pipewire, I usually use VBAN for audio over ethernet.
Sadly, my VBAN receptor seems to be unable to receive audio from my emitter on my other device. Normally I would assume this is a firewall issue, but I tested it again using a newly created VM that was connected directly to sys-net and I was still unable to receive any audio even after confirming that all outgoing connections were allowed on the VM’s “Firewall rules.”
If someone has a solution to this, I would be happy to hear it, but I am also more than willing to learn some better low latency audio solutions.

If anyone has a working setup for securely getting audio from a network device to a VM I would be very interested to hear about it. Thank you for your time.
Edit: Just ran a test where I tried to send audio from a VM to a separate ethernet device and this did not work either (the VM was not directly connected to sys-net, but the connection should have been allowed).
