Sys-audio qube created now no sound anywhere

Hey everybody! So i made the jump to try out the sys-audio qube and now I have no sound. I do have positive sound direct to usb from terminal test. I think this is where everything falls off a cliff in this screen pic. I managed to create an empty file ‘/etc/qubes/policy.d/50-sys-audio.policy’ according the the @neowetran method, but I cant get the text copied into dom0…
Tried creating a text file in AppVm pasting the text in the second pic and saving to a text file, then using the command in this next line to pass said saved text file in AppVm to pass into the dom0 blank ‘50-sys-audio.policy’ file

dom0 terminal tells me “permission denied”… I used sudo too. Maybe I am entering the path names incorrectly or something… I didnt mind simply connecting the usb audio devices to each appvm as I had need, but firefox videos would not play through usb even though I attached device directly to appvm, so this is the only reason why I made the dangerous journey into sys-audio qube land. LoL I think if I can get this text pasted into the configuration file, then it just might work… Any comments are sincerely appreciated thanks so much!

Use the qvm-run command to copy the file to your home/user directory in dom0 then sudo mv it to the policy.d or desired directory in dom0

Soooo that would look something like qvm-run --pass-io work cat /user/audioFILE.txt > /user/ ? maybe I should rename the source file? to 50-sys-audio.policy?
sorry, i should have tried it first, so i get Permission denied when using qvm-run --pass-io work cat /user/50-sys-audio.policy.txt > /user

I changed the source file name

Shouldn’t it be, when running from the default dom0 dir:

qvm-run --pass-io work 'cat /home/user/audioFILE.txt' > audioFILE.txt?

Then

sudo mv audioFILE.txt /etc/qubes/policy.d/50-sys-audio.policy

(Depends, of course, where the file exists in work)

It WORKS! YEEEEEEEEHAWL! Thank You!
