I have home assistant running in proxmox. I have configured voice assistant to some degree, I have connected it to llama3.2 an all that good stuff. However, i am unable to comunicate with it audably without using usb passthrough via pci. This passes multiple usb ports through. This is unfortunate because it prevents other devices from being passed to my other virutal machines. I have tried passing the individual microphone device through to home assistant, but home assistant just doesn't recognize this device at all.
#Microphone Passthrough in proxmox.

why no just use usb passthrough instead of pci passthrough? That's what I do to pass my thread usb stick to my HA VM
or is that a limitation you ran into?

hm some quick research shows this is the only way to expose it without sacrificing audio quality. Evidently using the regular usb passthrough isn't good for high bandwidth or latency sensitive things like audio, and people were reporting the audio got distorted when they did it any other way than PCI passthrough. Not sure there's a solution other than this 😦
