Ubuntu ... Intel sound card not detected using lspci

Docker Desktop
1

Hi,

Seems to be that Docker desktop does not have access in some way ?

Any ideas, as I have spent many hours trying to find the problem.

On my host PC using it’s terminal, I can access the host PC sound card using lspci

I don’t know what a “Docker desktop terminal” is, but Docker Desktop is a virtual machine with Docker CE in it, plus a GUI, so you won’t see your sound card from inside the virtual machine (from inside a container)

Hi and thank you for your reply,

This link suggests to me that adding audio to a container is possible ?
But with my limited knowledge of using Docker desktop I haven’t been able to get it working.

If anyone has successfully done this please let me know.

Thanks

That linked post is not about Docker Desktop. You can’t mount a soundcard device into a virtual machine that way.

Hi,

I didn’t realise there was any difference between Docker and Docker desktop, as to how they worked ?
So the link I sent, should work using Docker commands.

Thanks for your help

As @rimelek already pointed out: what you try to do requires Docker-CE on a Linux host, and will not work with Docker Desktop on any OS.

Ok thanks very much to both of you :slightly_smiling_face:

just in case you didn’t know that:

The docker command is the client which is the same with or without Docker Desktop. Except some additional plugins which wouldn be installed without the Desktop but can be used without it.
