Looking for help with audio and wifi problems with Circuit Sword.

I have just put together my circuit sword and it all works great except two things...

After updates the internal wifi doesn't work. I saw this is due to the wifi drivers being baked into the custom circuit sword kernel?
It's no big deal as I don't use it much and have a genuine Raspi wifi dongle I can plug in to use, but is it possible to add the drivers back in myself to make the internal wifi work?


Also the audio.
The audio does work, and when I turn the analogue dial it shows the volume percent indicator as it should, but it doesn't actually adjust the volume at all, I only get 100% output at all times.

I noticed the following error is shown though:

Code: Select all

ALSA Lib control.c:1373(snd_ctrl_open_noupdate) invalid ctl both
lcl0 VolumeControl::init() - failed to attach to default card!
Can someone help me out to at least get the audio volume control working? The wifi would be nice too but not critical.

Do you have another SD? Can you re-image to the version on github and see if it works correctly with that?

Yep, that fixed it.

In that case, what can I safely update without breaking stuff?

Glad to hear :) Anything other than the kernel. It usually asks "upgrade kernel?", always select 'No' (I am working on a solution for this btw)

Fantastic. I think I can manage that.

Thanks for the help! :)

Is there a way to fix it if you did update the kernel by using the retropie udpate script?... Asking for a friend who doesn't want to play through the first 3 hours of FF7 again. :D
