Hassio_audio container multiple sound cards not detected

[DiamondCocktail]

I recently added multiple usb soundcards to my system (HA Supervised on Ubuntu) with the hopes of setting up a Snapcast multiroom audio system. All cards are detected and working on the pulseaudio system on my host. However HA, and the hassio_audio container only see the built-in sound card (only card in the system at installation btw).

I have done a lot of research about pulse audio configuration and exploring in the container. Is this something that should be autodetected/setup when the new cards are added (like the host) or do I need to configure profiles and sinks manually for the new cards within the container? If so, is there any good info about doing this within the hassio_audio container structure?

I am hopeful an expert can help as there currently isn’t a lot of information available on the forums.

Thanks.

I asked a similar question when the supervisor audio was updated:

The Supervisor joins the party

I’m a little confused about the new audo feature, I see I have a device available in the supervisor hardware list: '1': name: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH type: PCH devices: - chan_id: '0' chan_type: digital audio playback How do I expose this to home assistant as a media player so I can connect some powered speakers to the audio jack and throw away my chromecast audio?

It’s already exposed to Home Assistant, but you need something to use it, from the top of my head I’m not aware of an integration that uses it, but I might be wrong here.

And this was Balloob’s reply:

You can use the Spotify Connect add-on to turn your Home Assistant into a Spotify playing target. [image] It’s available in the Community add-on store.

Which does not help me as I do not have or want a Spotify account.
