      Retropie 4.6 (official)
      Argon One case / power cable

      I'm encountering an issue to add music. I tried several methods but none of them did the job. No sound at all, no menu etc. It seems to install correctly but nothing happen. Is it related to USB rom service ?

        @Yobiwan have you got a link to the guide you used to enable background music? It might help the forum to figure out what might've gone wrong if you can provide the details.

            I've just tested bgm123, and I've got some ownership errors in /home/pi/Retropie/roms/music, and /home/pi/bgm doesn't show up in WinSCP manager. But it exists somwhere as I created it again and here is the result :

            "mkdir: cannot create directory '/home/pi/bgm': File exists"

            It doesn't write on the USB stick !

              I had to reinstall a backup and then clean install RetroPie BGM Player v2.0. I had to edit a file in /etc/ to add Google DNS, otherwise wget couln't download the package. Everything is fine now !

                  @freddyja Thanks ! Maybe I will try this out. BGM player is OK, but sometimes when a snap video starts the music cuts a little bit.
