Rpi USB audio woes and other zombies.

Hex

Thats not possible. What are you running this on ?

Edit : You are possibly running an older version of ES. Can you update from binary and check again. You should be running 2.5 and up to have this option.

I did no updates.

So should i only update ES?

Hex

Yes jut update ES from binary. It should update to 2.6 which has the options.

@hex
No wifi will not connect.
Even used wifikeyfile.txt

Retropie....

in a nutshell.

So now i am fresh flashing again.

Xeon

From the constant reflashing... the card is now screwed.

I think i'm done.
Will rather do a project that does not involve a Rpi board

Hex

I dont know how I can help you anymore. I followed the exact steps and got my piZ working with usb audio

Edit : Do you have any other sound card you could try this on.

@hex
I know and thank you for all the help.
But it seems the Rpi is literally going to stop me at every corner.
Not going to buy another memory card only to waste my life, weekend and money.

Parts replaced just getting sound to work.
Usb DAC
Memory card
Power supply
Rpi zero

not the first time using a rpi
but the first time having this much problems.

Hex

Let me tell you a tale. While making my GameBoy Zero these are the things I had to replace

Pi zero
USB hub
Sound card
Power boost
Gamepad

It works well now and it was worth it

@hex I totally understand.
Great build btw.

But i am utterly frustrated at how many weeks spent on this now just for sound.

i have not even added the motion tracking for quake yet.
i have not gotten to try start porting Xash3d.
I am not having fun.

@Hex
