Re: How-to: Use USB Audio in Retropie v3.7
What is your mixer called, then?
Can you do "alsamixer" in terminal or Audio over the retropie menu and write the name of the mixer?

Mine is called Headphones... and is giving the same error every 3 or 4 seconds... I think it also affects to sound performance... tried to recompile all day but after an hour always give some error in help component. Cpp or not enough virtual memory. Haven't tried what fleder posted. Would be nice the idea of the "alias".

Re: How-to: Use USB Audio in Retropie v3.7
Great work Chiz! I've got the USB audio working great, however, I'm now struggling to get sound through HDMI. I've rebooted the system a few times with and without the HDMI cable in but it seems to consistently be searching for the USB audio input. Any ideas?

Hi guys.
I have a sound card creative emu0202.
I have installed on raspberry KODI system where the card is working normally,
and RETROPIE after using the commands of this post card also works but I have a problem because the sound is interrupted.
In KODI it was the same when I had the settings automatically:
ALSA: E-MU 0202 | USB, Analog
after switching on:
ALSA: E-MU 0202 | USB, S / PDIF
sound in the end was normal.
I suppose that the same must be done in retropie but the question is how?

Re: How-to: Use USB Audio in Retropie v3.7
anyone help with this? ive ran the git clone, then i go into volumecontrol and the file is empty why is this?Fleder wrote:For easier access and backup, i will post the solution here.
jcoutch wrote:Assuming you've already set the USB sound card as the default in Alsa, you should be able to do the following:
Open up a terminal prompt, and run:
amixer -l
Note the name of your mixer. Mine was named "Speaker".
Now run:
git clone https://github.com/Aloshi/EmulationStation.git
nano EmulationStation/es-app/src/VolumeControl.cpp
Change line 8 from:
const char * VolumeControl::mixerName = "PCM";
to match the name of your mixer ("Speaker" in my case):
const char * VolumeControl::mixerName = "Speaker";
Press Ctrl+O and Enter to save the file, then Ctrl+X to exit Nano.
Then, follow the instructions for building the code from the main Github page:
sudo apt-get install libsdl2-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-date-time-dev libboost-locale-dev libfreeimage-dev libfreetype6-dev libeigen3-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libasound2-dev libgl1-mesa-dev build-essential cmake fonts-droid
cd EmulationStation
cmake .
make
make install
Restart Emulation Station, and now you should be able to control your volume.
as its empty i cant edit the bits that needto be changed to get rid of this error
