Raspberry pi 4 3.5mm audio problem

Installation

1

Hey,
I am using home assistant on raspberry pi 4 with docker long time.
When i see rhasspy local voice app, i challenging audio with raspberry. but only see in the list ’ Dummy Output ’

I read a lot of topics and comments from sites, then i realize, docker cant use host(raspberry pi) onboard audio.

I found code for solution (i think its solution)

docker run -it --rm --device /dev/snd:/dev/snd

I couldnt success with it because i havent enough information with commands.

This is my configuration;

Sorry for my bad english, trying get help with sound.
Any help would be appreciated.

I have the same problem and I haven’t found a solution yet :frowning:

The solution is already there: the device /dev/snd needs to be set in a parameter when you run the docker container. I’d recommend to use docker compose, as you can set things like this very easy and don’t need to remember the exact command that you used to run your container last time.

That being said, it should look something like this:

version: "3"
services:
  rhasspy:
    image: "rhasspy/rhasspy"
    container_name: rhasspy
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
        - "./app/config/rhasspy/profiles:/profiles"
        - "/etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro"
    ports:
        - "12101:12101"
# the following two lines 
    devices:
        - "/dev/snd:/dev/snd"
    command: --user-profiles /profiles --profile de

That should enable the docker container to use the audio from the Pi. :slight_smile:
