Need help! No sound on splashscreen

Crainium17

HI there I have been researching and researching and trying all different things and I can't find any text to change to enable the sound for my video splash screens. I've done so many sudo nano splash screens inputs and I always get just a blank screen with nothing to change. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Please add more info about your system, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

You don't need to 'enable' the source for the splashscreen specifically, is your sound working otherwise in Emulationstation or in games ?

@mitu yes the sound is working in the ES and I have a Cm3 in a Gameboy that is connected onto a Kite circuit sword pcb. The only problem I have is no sound on the video splash screen. The video plays flawlessly. It use to be a simple change for the omxplayer from both to alsa but I can't find the text to change it.

If you run omxplayer from the command line, is the sound ok ?
The start-up script is in /opt/retropie/supplementary/asplashscreen.sh, that's where omxplayer is called.

@mitu ![alt text](image url) hand on sorry I have to make the pic smaller I typed omxplayer in the command line and alot of code writing came up not sure what you want to see I'm still kind of new to this.

You're supposed to use omxplayer <path/to/file> to play the file, that's what I meant. And the output is not 'code', it's probably just the help/usage message from omxplayer if you don't supply the right arguments.

@mitu okay I'm sure that might be my problem is I'm not sure how to navigate through the commands well, but at the command line: pi"retropie:~ $ (I put I in: /opt/retropie/supplementary/asplashscreen.sh) and it says : - bash: /opt/retropie/supplementary/asplashscreen.sh: no such file or directory

How about we start again with https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first ?

@mitu rule #5? I don't understand? I did load the software on the SD card and am putting this together myself, I just have come to a issue that I have researched and nothing has worked for me so I'm trying to find out what I'm doing wrong.

@mitu when you say path to file do you mean CD (change directory) to get to omxplayer?

No, I mean the path to the video file

rule #5? I don't understand?

It's easy - did you download the image from this site or not ? My question was to provide more details about your installation - what Pi model, what RetroPie version, etc. You've not mentioned anything about that. Did you buy the kit with the image included ?
