Thank you Victor.
Yes, I have the latest guest-tools installed, and the problem is that after configuring the vm by using virsh and reboot,  the configuration reverts to defaults:
    <graphics type='spice' autoport='yes' passwd='*****' passwdValidTo='1970-01-01T00:00:01'>
      <listen type='network' network='vdsm-ovirtmgmt'/>
      <channel name='main' mode='secure'/>
      <channel name='display' mode='secure'/>
      <channel name='inputs' mode='secure'/>
      <channel name='cursor' mode='secure'/>
      <channel name='playback' mode='secure'/>
      <channel name='record' mode='secure'/>
      <channel name='smartcard' mode='secure'/>
      <channel name='usbredir' mode='secure'/>
    </graphics>
So my added changes are not loaded at vm boot.
 I am sure this is an oVirt spicific behavior, but i just can;t find it out how to make this persistent.

What audio issues do you see?

I'm not familiar with oVirt interface but it shouldn't be hard if
you have access to the host.

# virsh edit $vm-name

switch what you have in graphics to:

    <graphics type='spice' autoport='yes'>
        <image compression='off'/> 
        <streaming mode='off'/>     
    </graphics>

Do you have spice-guest-tools installed?
