8. The path should be set to /pool/<your-pool-name>, the user should be set to the user you created, the role should be set to the one you created and the propagate checkbox should be enabled.

Note: For a VM to support SPICE, it must first be enabled on the VM. To do this, go to the desired VM's hardware configuration and change the display to SPICE.

For sound: To use sound you need to add it in the VM's hardware settings. To do this, go to desired VM's hardware configuration and click on add, select audio device, don't change the audio device unless you know what you're doing and make sure the backend driver is set to SPICE.
