I have just tested sound between Linux (PyHoca-GUI) and Linux (Ubuntu 12.04).

What I do is:

   o launch pulseaudio -D on the client-side
   o launch PyHoca-GUI with Pulseaudio enabled on the client-side
   o start an X2Go session (e.g. a Terminal Session)
   o run the command paplay /usr/share/sound/pop.wav

I do not have a native Windows client here-around, so I cannot say  
anything about Windows.

Can you check if sound works for clients with Linux? Testing from  
Windows and Linux can narrow down: is it a server or client issue.  
Also: please test with X2Go Client. Do you have sound, then?

Also: you do not have to enable a virtual sound card in KVM to have  
sound with X2Go. I use KVM, as well, and always unconfigure the audio  
devices (which get into the VM setup by default when configured with  
virt-manager).

Greets,
Mike
