Volume Control Error Message

Post by reipet » Mon Jan 29, 2018 6:31 am

Hello all,

recently I always get the Error Message as shown on the picture.
There isnt any problem with the sound as far as I can tell, just that message puts the system on hold for a while I feel.

Any ideas what causes it and how to fix it?

THX!

What's the contents of your /etc/asound.conf file?
This should fix it:

Code: Select all

pcm.card1 {
  type hw card 1
}

ctl.card1 {
  type hw card 1
}

pcm.!default card1

This is due to USB (digital) audio, and the error is from the sw binary where it fails to use the hard coded internal sound card. This is probably why on my SAIO image menus never have any sound!

Could you try editing /etc/asound.conf with:

Code: Select all

pcm.card1 {
  type hw card 1
}

ctl.card1 {
  type hw card 1
}

pcm.!default card1
PS the original file is this: https://github.com/geebles/Super-AIO/bl ... sound.conf in case you need to revert :)

Here are some useful links that MAY help:
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/159 ... dio-jack/5
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/112 ... elements/9
https://github.com/Aloshi/EmulationStation/issues/433
So i edited /etc/asound.conf and now i get a "black screen" when i try to launch a game or enter any of the retropie options

And reverting that file back to the one that I linked (https://github.com/geebles/Super-AIO/bl ... sound.conf) does that put it back to working? Might not be the right change then..
