I have just noticed that my Windows 10 virtual machine no longer sends sound out to the host where I can hear things.
Unfortunately I got the annoying Windows 10 April update and about the same time I switched to Fedora 28, so I have no idea when sound might have vanished or which changes might be at fault.
Anyone done all these updates and had sound keep working (or vanish). Is there some service I need to be running on fedora 28 to support sound I may have turned off by accident? (Or maybe the Windows 10 update killed off something inside the virtual machine that needs to be running).
I suppose I ought to download updated Windows virtio drivers for everything since newer versions might be available (but it always takes forever to find them as someone keeps moving them to make them easier to find about every six months :-).

Well, I most always use VirtualBox for my VM needs. Not certain what you're using.
But, this has happened to me a while back. With VBox, if you open pavucontrol on the host there is a entry for VBox in the Playback tab under Applications. In my case I somehow managed to mute that.

I too use VBox, and run Win10 in it.
In my case, Win10 audio, as presented to me on the Centos box I run it on, is horribly choppy. NO clue why.
I vaguely recll back when I first started running win10 in VB that sound wasn't that way, but it has been, now, for a long time.

Using KVM/QEMU here on F28, with Win10 updated. No new sound issues (touch wood). I very occasionally lose sound but restarting pulseaudio seems to restore it. No idea why.

Ha! It wasn't the virtual machine at all, it was my output audio device selection failing to stick to HDMI out across a reboot. I couldn't hear sound from local apps on the system either.
I suppose I'll have to put a pacmd script in my startup scripts to always set the audio output if fedora 28 is going to forget it all the time.

You'll probably be disappointed to hear that I've several audio output devices (HDMI, Intel 3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio, BT-headset) that I switch around using for various reasons and I've not lost a configuration across reboots (mostly for kernel updates).

It did save it today. I got some updates (including pulseaudio updates) and when I rebooted this time, it was still on hdmi, so it saved it this morning, but I know I changed it when I first installed f28, and that change didn't stick.
I guess I'll see if it keeps the default for a while before I write the script.

Well, the recent update seems only to have been to address BZ #1536356.
