Splashscreen sound and screen brightness

Hey,
so i finished my GBZ built with the CSO. First I added a splashscreen (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVxZwklgFmU ) but there is no sound. Then i found this (
https://www.sudomod.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2807 ) in the forum. But i´m a total noob when it comes to programming and so i don´t really understand how to do it. Could anyone pls give me a newbie tutorial for that?
Second, i played with my GBZ before going to bed, when everything was dark. So i wanted to turn down the screen brightness with the button combo, but sadly the lowest brightness is still extremly bright. Is there a way to turn down the minimum brightness?
Thanks in advance for reading

screen brightness i'm not sure, since i've never used a kite board/screen. As for the sound, taken right from that guide:
SOLUTION FOUND!
Edit '/etc/init.d/asplashscreen' and change the line:
omxplayer -o both -b --layer 10000 "$line"
to:
omxplayer -o alsa -b --layer 10000 "$line"
That's pretty easy. Do you have a keyboard? Plug it in to the gameboy, or SSH into the pi using putty (download putty, its free and easy to use).
From the terminal type (if using a keyboard hooked to the gameboy hit f4 to get to the terminal)
sudo nano /etc/init.d/asplashscreen
that will open a new text editor window. In there simply use the keyboard to make the change noted above (both to alsa)
Once done hit Ctrl + X, and then Y to save
type sudo reboot to restart the pi

ok thanks i did it

nice intro video.....
sorry to be picky....
but a Game Boy Zero is a Game Boy powered by a Pi Zero....
seems a bit weird calling it a GBZ power by a CM3 board (striped down Pi3)...
but nice work...

Hey did that fix it? It should have already been set on my image.. if that did fix it, i'll need to double check
Yes it fixed it. I had downloaded the newest version from you for the CSO, there it still said "both".

Ok thanks for letting me know, I'll get that fixed so the next image is correct!
np. And is there a way to decrese the minimum brightness so the you can make the screen darker when in a dark area?

I assume you have already done the MODE + LEFT button combo to decrease the brightness?
If you have and it's still too bright; change this line to a bigger number.. 255 = OFF completely..
https://github.com/kiteretro/Circuit-Sw ... defs.h#L98
The last I tested, trying to make it dimmer ended up it just reverting to OFF anyway..
Ok thanks

So i don´t know how to programm with arduino...
but it should be possible to make the screen darker. If you enable the screensaver in ES under "ui settings" you can select "dimm". This makes the screen darker as the lowest brightness you can get with the button combo.
- Before: Lowest Brightness via button combo - After: screensaver set to "dimm"

I don‘t want to create a new topic for this question so I post it here.
Is it possible to set the time for the new Kite logo, which is shown at boot the system, a bit shorter?
Because it fades over my video splashscreen and this looks a bit nasty.
Or does anybody know where to find the Kite image? So I could use this as splashscreen and I would have a clean bootup showing only the Kite and the ES image.
