Gst-launch-1.0 -vv alsasrc ! alsasink does not work in docker

zhang.dongchuan · August 5, 2021, 9:18am

Hi

My docker image is based on nvcr.io/nvidia/l4t-base:r32.5.0.
But I met alsasrc/alsasink issue after running my docker image while it works fine under host env.

The log is as follow:

Hi,
It looks like alsa-related device nodes are missing. Would need to add the nodes to l4t.csv. It does not show what nodes cannot be found from the log. Could you try arecord command? See if it prints out more information about device nodes.

zhang.dongchuan · August 9, 2021, 9:52am

Hi Dane,

We tried the arecord command but failed as follow:

root@localhost:/usr/bin# arecord -r 48000 -c 2 -f S16_LE ./out.wav -v
arecord: main:788: audio open error: No such file or directory

We also tried aplay which show similar error:
root@localhost:/usr/bin# find / -name ***wav
/usr/share/sounds/alsa/Rear_Right.wav
/usr/share/sounds/alsa/Noise.wav
/usr/share/sounds/alsa/Rear_Left.wav

/usr/share/sounds/alsa/Side_Left.wav
/usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Right.wav
/usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Left.wav
/usr/share/sounds/alsa/Side_Right.wav
root@localhost:/usr/bin# ./aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Right.wav
aplay: main:788: audio open error: No such file or directory

DaneLLL · August 10, 2021, 11:30am

Hi,
Please run

$ ls /dev/snd/

And add the device to

/etc/nvidia-container-runtime/host-files-for-container.d/l4t.csv

Each device should be added like

dev, /dev/snd/pcmC0D0c

Abd then launch docker.

zhang.dongchuan · August 11, 2021, 9:52am

hi

I add the /dev/snd/* to the l4t.csv file

root@agx-desktop:/home/agx# more /etc/nvidia-container-runtime/host-files-for-container.d/l4t.csv
dev, /dev/snd/controlC0

but error is still exist, I check the GST_DEBUG=3 gst-launch-1.0 alsasrc ! alsasink cmd.

Hi,
Please check if you can see this node in docker:

hi

this is result, there has no pcmC0D0p device.

hi

$ apt update
$ apt install alsa-base alsa-utils pulseaudio ---- it should exec in docker env ？or add it into the dockerfile.

zhang.dongchuan · August 12, 2021, 4:26am

hi

we exec your cmd. and using GST_DEBUG=3 gst-launch-1.0 alsasrc ! alsasink cmd to check , the issue is still .

please help me solve this problem as soon as possible.

Hi,
Please remove the /dev/snd/* nodes in l4t.csv. This is not required. And execute the commands in docker:

root@nvidia-desktop:/# apt update
root@nvidia-desktop:/# apt install alsa-base alsa-utils pulseaudio

We have verified it on r32.5.1. Please give it a try.

Hi,

It seems like this path is occupied in your environment. Please try to modify to other path for this setting:

~/.config/pulse/cookie:/root/.config/pulse/cookie

hi

I’m right ? pls check it

root@agx-desktop:/home/agx# ll /root/.config/pulse/cookie/
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 8月 12 12:20 ./
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 8月 12 12:20 …/

root@agx-desktop:/home/agx# ~/.config/pulse/cookie:/root/.config/pulse/cookie
bash: /root/.config/pulse/cookie:/root/.config/pulse/cookie: No such file or directory

Hi,
No, it should not be a directory. It should be a file like

root@nvidia-desktop:/# ll /root/.config/pulse/cookie
-rw------- 1 1000 1000 256 Jun 22 07:52 /root/.config/pulse/cookie

hi

you means I should delete the /root/.config/pulse/cookie directory and then

make a new file named cookie ?

but what’s the content for the cookie ?

hi

As using root user to start the docker, so there has the /root/.config/pulse/cookie issue.

now I change the user to start docker. the log as following:

root@agx-desktop:/# gst-launch-1.0 alsasrc ! alsasink -ev

Hi,
Attach our output for your reference:

/root/.config/pulse/cookie has to be a file instead of a directory. You would need to resolve this first.

Hi,
Please check if it works by executing:

# apt update
# apt install alsa-base alsa-utils pulseaudio

You would need to install the packages every time of launching docker.
