Debian-minimal template for sys-audio

[dom0]

Regarding the microphone, I tried testing it and had the same issue as you did. Would be good if someone more knowledgeable could shed some light on what could be the cause.

I made a new post here and received a response with the solution:

The extra step is installing socat in the debian template

But it seems that, since I have a Librem 14, which has the bluetooth provided by the wireless network card, I will have to redo all of this in my Fedora sys-net, as the reason I went through the trouble of creating a sys-audio was because I want to be able to use a bluetooth headset without compromising dom0.

Someone can correct me if I am wrong on any of this, but here is my thinking of Bluetooth and the Librem 14:

If you want to use the built-in Wifi-Bluetooth module for Bluetooth audio in a sys-audio qube, then you will have to have the device attached to the sys-audio qube. There are a few options here:

• attach built-in Wifi-Bluetooth to sys-net and use as sys-audio too (one sys-* qube used for both sys-net and sys-audio functions)

• attach built-in Wifi-Bluetooth to sys-net and use USB Bluetooth device for sys-audio

• attach built-in Wifi-Bluetooth to sys-audio and use USB Wifi device for sys-net

One thing to consider is that the built-in Wifi-Bluetooth module does not need any drivers installed in order to use the Wifi, but you would need to install a non-free driver in order to use the Bluetooth.

I made a few attempts to get the built-in Bluetooth to work, but I decided to wait and see if anyone else ends up making a good write-up. Bluetooth is not very important to me, but I would be interested in understanding how to use it if the need ever does arise.

Also, I have split my Wifi and Ethernet networking devices into two separate service qubes: sys-net and sys-wifi. You may want to consider whether you want/need your Wifi and Ethernet in the same service qube.

I almost forgot to mention that I use debian-minimal templates for all my service qubes, and you could as well. There is no need for Fedora if you do not want to use it. That is one of the best things about QubesOS: Choice.
