Enabling audio device for Tiny11

[geckolinux]

Operating system

Debian 12

Description

Hi there, I'm having trouble enabling an audio device in my Tiny11 installation with this project. For reference, I've tried all the suggestions in #108 , #214 , and #22. This is on a Debian 12 host with Pipewire audio (PulseAudio compatibility enabled) and the Cinnamon desktop. I'm connecting to the Docker image over RDP with Remmina, Vinagre, and xfreerdp with the same outcome.

#108 (comment)

The reason why I didnt add it by default is that without any audio device I have working sound via Microsoft RDP on Android. But as soon as I add a soundcard like above, for some strange reason I do not have sound in RDP anymore.

So another solution is to use Microsoft RDP instead of Teamviewer, because it has working sound even without audio device.

So I tried it with no ARGUMENTS:

ARGUMENTS: "-device ich9-intel-hda -device hda-output -audio alsa"

• Adding Sound Postcreation throws error? #214 (comment)

ARGUMENTS: "-device ich9-intel-hda -device hda-output -audio spice

OK, finally success. First of all I recreated the container with the compose file I posted above that includes ARGUMENTS: "-device ich9-intel-hda -device hda-output -audio alsa" , my first attempt didn't use any arguments. I'm not sure if that made a difference or not, but the other important thing I was missing was enabling audio over RDP.

Method 1: xfreerdp /u:username /p:pass /v:localhost /dynamic-resolution /sound /microphone

For lower audio latency and lower CPU usage this is what I'm using:
/microphone:format:1,quality:high /sound:format:1,quality:high,latency:5 /network:lan -encryption /cert:ignore /bpp:32 /gfx-h264:AVC444

Method 2: In Remmina:

I tried the same thing without adding any ARGUMENTS to my compose file, and it works.
