      @Brigane No, I don't use a USB sound card. I use that of the pi.

        @WarC0zes hello, i did a fresh installation on my system to check if it throw me the same problem, but no, it work normally.

        - First, i need you to install RetroPie BGM Player again, you can install it over the current installation (dont need to uninstall).
        [ Q. Why install again? A. Because, i have updated some code, and it could correct your problem. ]
        -- And check if you got the same problem.

        --- If yes:
        ---- I need to know if this occurs with fade effect, without fade effect or both.
        ---- I need you to check configs/all/ folder and check if you got this file-> runcommand-onend.sh
        ----- if yes, send me the code you find inside [if any] (you can open this file with any text editor).

        --- If no:
        ---- Nice.

            @WarC0zes thank for your reply, i think i found the problem.
            Install again, i updated the online version to correct this problem, but i need someone to test.

            If the problem persists, uninstall with uninstall.sh file that you found on github (https://github.com/Naprosnia/RetroPie_BGM_Player)
            and install again.

            leave some feedback please.

              Install again = not works.
              Uninstall with uninstall.sh and install again = Not works.

              weird all works before your new update.
              The only change I made since your update, is to steam link installed.

                          @Naprosnia I found a bug with fade effect when I leave the game, the system volume goes to 73% or 83% instead of staying at 100%. Without fade effect it's good, it stays at 100%.

                            @WarC0zes hello, if you enter a game with 100% volume, when you leave it, the volume go to 73/83?
                            I'll check that out.

                              @Naprosnia Yes, exactly. With fade effect enable.

                                @WarC0zes fixed now. I put an extra option on RetroPie-BGM-Player / BGM Update menu, to reinstall everything. So if you need to reinstall it, simply go to update and select reinstall.

                                But for now you need to reinstall again manually.

                                  @Naprosnia It's good the volume stays at 100% now. Thanks.

                                    @Naprosnia Hey man, I love your implementation of this. Ultra noob friendly and integrated into the config menu for fine adjustments. I have a small idea/request. I like to display launch art, as well as have the BGM fade effect set. But currently they work independent of each other. Currently: Launch Game > Music Fades > Then launch art is displayed > game starts. I think it would be great if it could work like: Launch Game > Launch Art is displayed AS music is fading > game starts.

                                    I don't know if that's possible but you got a donation coming your way if you can :) Either way, keep up the great work!
