As far as i understood this: If you want to have an Application for your AppVM, you need to install this Application on the TemplateVM, update it, reboot and then it should be available in the "Applications" Tab in the VMs settings.

Hope I could have helped you with that.

Cheers,
Jonny

This issue (and others) are resolved in whonix 14, now in testing -- you
can upgrade here:

https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Upgrading_Whonix_13_to_Whonix_14

Although it will be less work/risk if you can wait until the templates
are ready. If you attempt the upgrade, be sure to backup your Whonix
appVMs and templateVMs first!

Questions:

1) If I understand you correctly sound will work in whoonix 14?
Do you or someone else knows when whoonix 14 will be evailable via the Qubes Repositories?

2) Has someone installed pulseaudio in the whoonix-ws template in Qubes 4 and did this solve the no-sound-topic.

3) Why is there no sound in whoonix in the default Qubes Installation?

kind regards

It's in unstable and sound works, see

Haven't tried that

Think there is a specific audio related driver file that needs to be
manually copied somewhere but can't remember where I saw that
