Start up QEMU with the following options. Qemu by Fabrice Bellard is a virtual machine emulator that allows you to install and load various operating systems. Unfortunately, there is no version of Qemu for Mac, but there are alternatives available for Mac that can be used instead. The following list contains the most effective alternatives to Qemu for Mac. In our qemu-screamer directory, we will use qemu-img to create the disk image. $./qemu-screamer/qemu-img create -f qcow2 macos92.img 5G Get a Mac OS 9 Installer.

Here is a short guide on how to build QEMU to run Mac OS 9 with working audio. These instructions work for MacOS High Sierra as the host OS, although with some tweaking they may run under Linux/Windows. You should be comfortable compiling software from source before attempting.

You may need to install XCode and/or the XCode command line tools. If you do not have them, then this process may prompt you to install them (MacOS will do that).
Run Mac Os In Qemu
Start by cloning the fork of QEMU with experimental audio support:

Then configure the source to use MacOS CoreAudio. I have also enabled LibUSB, KVM, HyperVirtualization Framework, and the Cocoa UI. In this case I am only compiling the emulator for PPC (32-bit).
Then compile:
This will create a binary in
qemu-screamer/ppc-softmmu/qemu-system-ppc that we can use.

Once it starts up, you will be able to run Disk Initializer to format your hard drive image. Go ahead and do that, using Mac OS HFS Extended as the file system. One partition is good.
After initializing the disk, run Apple System Restore with the Mac OS 9 lives disk image as the source and your disk as the destination. This will take a minute to restore. Once done, shut down the emulated system.
Boot Mac OS 9
Similar to the last command, except we start up from the disk we created.
It should boot up and you will have a running Mac OS 9 with audio!
Tips
When the emulator is shut down, just make a copy of the hard disk image to create a backup. If something breaks your Mac OS 9 installation then you can restore the file.
You can dynamically attach CDs/DVDs to the emulated system by going to the menu bar on your host system for the QEMU application and selecting the option to attach to the CD IDE drive. It will open a dialog letting you select your ISO.
