ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'torchaudio.backend'

I have a python app that uses deepfilternet and works ok locally.

When I hit the deepfilternet functions, I got this warning:

...\.venv\Lib\site-packages\df\io.py:9: UserWarning: torchaudio.backend.common.AudioMetaData has been moved to 
torchaudio.AudioMetaData. 
Please update the import path.

But it works anyway.
But when moving my app to docker. I am getting the error:

from torchaudio.backend.common import AudioMetaData
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'torchaudio.backend'

Here is the docker command I use to install :
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir deepfilternet

I asked for help to an AI. And I got the following explanation:

The issue you're experiencing occurs because DeepFilterNet is using an outdated import path for torchaudio that worked locally due to Python's dynamic import resolution.

So after reviewing the project. I think this is already fixed on ´DeepFilterNet/df/io.py ´ But a new version has not been released after v5.0.6

I would like to gently ask if you can release a new version that could include this fix. Meanwhile I will have to patch my project, so I can make it work on docker.

I fixed the issue by pinning the versions of pytorch torch==2.8.0 torchaudio==2.8.0 I was getting the issue with torch==2.9.x
I still leave the issue open so we can get a new release compatible with newest versions of pytorch.

What version of python is your docker base image? Trying to get this running myself and have run into this same issue among others

@jcarpenter-uam take a look into this image. It includes the base image and other deps required to make deepfilternet to work with docker.

@Angeluz-07
The usage of the new version of torchaudio has changed, and the cause of the error is that DeepFilterNet has not yet adapted to the new interface. Use pip install "torchaudio <2.9" instead.
