Could you try the following, please?:

Create the .asoundrc file. Which should not exist.

Code: Select all

sudo nano .asoundrc

Then type in the following (if your device is card 0 and device 0 (/proc/asound/cards)):

Code: Select all

pcm.PCM {
	type hw
	card 0
	device 0
}

Strg+X -> Yes -> Enter

Code: Select all

sudo reboot

This should create an alias for your mixer which is usually called "Speaker".
But as Alsamixer is looking for PCM, this causes it to ignore that one.

Was having similar issues with the "Failed to find mixer elements"
Lsusb showed my device was "6"
So i followed your instructions and replaced device 0 with device 6 and the warning went away and am able to control volume through Emulationstation. Thanks a ton!

How are the commands typed using a US keyboard? Haha

You have to set your local in retropie setup to us.

I got what I needed figured out. I just stumbled across this thread while trying to find the help i needed. But while trying to follow, I discovered that the placement of the '@' is on another key. Found that, but could not end up finding the '~' so I had to give up on this, couldnt follow this guide. haha. I will look at adjusting the location though. Thank you.

How is the sound quality and volume compared to the pi's sound?

I'm currently debating wether to use this or get the output from the pi

I've only tried the usb method with my Zero. The audio is a bit garbled at times. Not sure what the issue is with that though, but it's usable.

i've tried to build the code....

but i keep hitting the same issue...

it always kinda freezes/stops at 24%

building cxx object es-core/cmakefiles/es-core.dir/srs/components/helpcomponent.cpp.o


not sure if this has happend to others of am i doing something wrong...

could it also be an issue because i have retropie 4.2

Can we simply disable and not bother changing the order of the USB and native device?

I originally used this guide to set up USB audio and it worked well except for the "VolumeControl::init() - Failed to find mixer elements!" error kept appearing every time I quit a game.

I found this guide https://www.woltersadvertising.com/how- ... -retropie/ which worked perfect for me and now I no longer get the VolumeControl::init() - Failed to find mixer elements! error.

Is there a way to reverse this process back to original default?

Despite the sound sounds well, when changing to console mode, the message "(snd_pcm_recover) underrun occurred" shows several times.
Is that a problem? Anyone has the same message?
