Audirvana on Docker

🖥️ Audirvāna Core Player
1

Hi,

I assume this is a very recurrent topic, and i think it is not supported. I have found this guide: Running Audirvana Studio in Docker with Samba Shares, but it don’t ask to my doubts.

Right now, i’m on unraid (up to date) and running this docker image: lexgo/audistudio:latest. I had made the template my self, so i assume there are a lot of things bad. I have mount my Roon ROCK internal storage through host samba (so no need to mess whit this). Anyways, in general everything works quite well. Well enough to be astonished about the quality.

But, i experiencing a lot of issues with UPnP and my endpoints. The logs show a lot of threads like this:
025-09-06 22:29:40.011 [error]: UPnP audio device unreachable (powered off ?), aborting playing position monitoring
2025-09-06 22:29:40.052 [error]: UPnP select device: can’t find the device JF Light Industries UpMPD with UID: uuid:2d54c7b1-2337-5ee5-2c55-2ccf67323988
2025-09-06 22:29:41.278 [error]: UPnP Error 501 getting audio dB volume
2025-09-06 22:29:44.327 [warning]: UPnP failed to send file info for not found fileLoader for trackId 0
2025-09-06 22:29:44.428 [error]: UPnP select device: can’t find the device JF Light Industries UpMPD with UID: uuid:2d54c7b1-2337-5ee5-2c55-2ccf67323988

The endpoint is a Raspberry Pi 5 (8gb) with an iQuadio Pro DAC and ROPIEE which has DLNA/UPnP built in and must work (Disclaimer here: it works. I can hear music, but sometimes it cuts, it losts connection and it is not as good as it must) I’m sure it is something i made not right, because i have the same issue with my YAMAHA RX-V4A, but what?? Also, i need to block the volume to 0 and hide the volume bar as i do with LMS or Roon.

Anyone has any idea? I need to make it work well before i switch from Roon, because the setup with an ubuntu server will be a very painfull process.

Thanks you all, and congrats. Audirvana is a very good player.

hi @Calaat,

Can you please try to reboot your network router and then try to reproduce the issue?

Hi!

Thanks for your answer.
I had done the reboot and this is the log. Same result. (The smb error is not relevant because I have the share mounted in the host and it can be read with no issues)

This is the same log running on windows.
The difference is the message UPnP select device: can’t find the device (which is not true, because it plays music). I have left the end of the log because i constantly have this error log to.
Maybe i need to setup something i’m missing?

In the debug log, i have this:
DLNA 1.5: No
Native Gapless playback: Yes
Universal Gapless playback active: No
Missing events workaround: No
Can play native DSD: Yes
Volume Control: scalar
Number of channels: 2
Use as stereo device only: No

Which i found interesting.

At last, this is what my log looks like in a debug session, for one song playing on Docker. The experience is neat. Not any issue, the music is flowing smooth and sounding really well.

I don’t understan why, but it seems audirvana is working well because i have everything setup on the host, but the container is not recognizing that, in fact, everything ir already setup. I think, i had do my template badly, but it works, and it works quite well.

I don’t know if it helps but this is what my template looks like:

  • The root folder is mounted because if not i lose my library config every time the container is regen
  • The music folder is smb, but it is mounted on the host.
  • The dev/snd, the /var/run/dbus and /var/run/avahi-daemon/socket must be, because if not the audirvana server does not work.
