I have a Jetson Nano Developer Kit running the pre-built ubuntu image. When playing video or audio with totem player from GUI or command line, I can hear sound from the HDMI monitor. But when I play anything (wav, mp3, mp4) from command line with gst-play-1.0 or gst-launch-1.0, there is no sound, although everything looks fine in the command line. ```auto $ DISPLAY=:0 totem audiofile.wav $ $ DISPLAY=:0 gst-play-1.0 audiofile.wav Press 'k' to see a list of keyboard shortcuts. Now playing /tmp/audiofile.wav Redistribute latency... 0:01:32.5 / 0:01:32.5 Reached end of play list. ``` The attachments are the diagrams of gstreamer pipelines from totem and gst-play-1.0. I couldn’t find any essential difference between them. I found this post [https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1049272/jetson-nano/jetson-nano-no-sound-output/](https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1049272/jetson-nano/jetson-nano-no-sound-output/) But I believe it’s different from mine, because I can hear sound when using totem. Thanks. ![totem.png](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/nvidia/original/2X/4/494011a822f1b9f6215e85d0bf159a38bddd6f04.png) ![gst-play.png](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/nvidia/original/2X/0/096059ef468e49a22b4fc5b46cefe469b9d28b27.png) ---

Hi Harry16, Have you checked the from Audio Troubleshooting section from L4T doc?See:[https://docs.nvidia.com/jetson/l4t/index.html#page/Tegra%2520Linux%2520Driver%2520Package%2520Development%2520Guide%2Fasoc\_driver.17.2.html%23wwpID0E0VD0HA](https://docs.nvidia.com/jetson/l4t/index.html#page/Tegra%2520Linux%2520Driver%2520Package%2520Development%2520Guide%2Fasoc_driver.17.2.html%23wwpID0E0VD0HA) ---

Unfortunately none of the toubleshooting part seems to be able to explain why one software can produce sound while another can’t. Thank you, anyway. Happy new year. ---

Hi, You can run ‘aplay -l’ to list all audio output device, and configure it to audiosink: ```auto $ gst-play-1.0 file:///home/nvidia/test_stereo_44100Hz_16bit_PCM.wav --audiosink='alsasink device=hw:0,3' ``` ---
