I've used Qubes 3.2 and everythings there worked fine, but now I'm trying R4.0 rc1 and I can't figure out why the sound doesn't work.

`qvm-pci` reports 2 Intel Audio Devices (00:03.0 and 00:1b.0), so I've tried to attach them to an base AppVm, such personal and start it with `qvm-run`, but it returns:
"Start failed: internal error: libxenlight failed to create new domain 'personal'",
while without those audio devices the VM starts without any problems.

Check whether VT-d is enabled on your machine. This message is usually displayed when one starts a VM with a PCI device on a machine without VT-d

I've checked the BIOS configs and VT-d is enabled.

Try with pci_strictreset set to false for this particular vm
