Unable to install torchaudio into NGC Pytorch container

ifedorov: <p>Hi. I’m trying to run my training pipeline inside pytorch docker container by Nvidia NGC: <a href="https://catalog.ngc.nvidia.com/orgs/nvidia/containers/pytorch" class="inline-onebox" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">PyTorch | NVIDIA NGC</a></p>
<p>So I run:<br>
<code>$ docker run -it --gpus all nvcr.io/nvidia/pytorch:23.09-py3</code></p>
<p>It already has pre-installed pytorch and it works fine:</p>
<pre><code class="lang-auto">$ python
Python 3.10.12 (main, Jun 11 2023, 05:26:28) [GCC 11.4.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
&gt;&gt;&gt; import torch
&gt;&gt;&gt; torch.cuda.is_available()
True
</code></pre>
<p>I also need torchaudio for my purposes and it is not preinstalled. So I run:<br>
<code>$ pip install torchaudio</code></p>
<p>Then I get:</p>

<p>So for some reason it uninstalls existing pytorch <strong>torch==2.1.0a0+32f93b1</strong>, installs instead <strong>torch-2.0.1-cp310</strong> and corresponding torchaudio. This leads to weird errors later on. How to install torchaudio properly in this case?</p>

ptrblck: <p>Install a nightly <code>torchaudio</code> binary, install the tagged release without any dependencies via <code>pip install --no-dependencies ...</code>, or build it from source.</p>
