      Ok, I found a solution to map gamepad in Solarus.

      First, you have to found a way to save your game for a first time.

      After that, go in /opt/retropie/configs/solarus/game name (like bom)

      And open your save1.dat file

      Inside, you will found a lot of infos and this :

      _joypad_action = "button 3"
_joypad_attack = "button 4"
_joypad_down_key = "axis 3 -"
_joypad_item_1 = "button 1"
_joypad_item_2 = "button 2"
_joypad_left_key = "axis 2 +"
_joypad_pause = "button 9"
_joypad_right = "axis 2 -"
_joypad_up_key = "axis 3 +"
_keyboard_action = "space"
_keyboard_attack = "c"
_keyboard_down = "down"
_keyboard_item_1 = "x"
_keyboard_item_2 = "v"
_keyboard_left = "left"
_keyboard_pause = "d"
_keyboard_right = "right"
_keyboard_up = "up"

      Now you can set your gamepad with the good numbers. It doesn't work for the main menu, but It works when you are in the game!

      However, I didn't fix my sound issue.

        Hi mitu, I would like to know if this is a personal problem (sound problem) or if it is a global problem. If it's just me, I'll dig it out and try to figure it out on my own, but if it's like that for everyone, I'll make a request on github.

          Not sure, I don't have Solarus installed. A log file would be useful to track the issue though.

            I'm trying to chat on Discord with the Solarus people. We'll see what they think about this issue. They have nice video games, I hope they can fix that problem.
            New edit: They will do some tests tomorrow

                Do you think it's related to that ? I have speak to hhromic on Discord, He will take a look on that.

                  This might be related to the sound issue. Do you have PulseAudio installed and active ?

                    I installed the official image from Retropie with the last update.
                    I never played with sound parameters before. No I guess.

                    Hhromic told me this on Discord :
                    @Dteam looks like the audio device is opened by something else and Solarus can't use it.
                    Do you have something else running in the background that uses the sound output?
                    Maybe PulseAudio ? I have read recently that it causes trouble sometimes. I understand RetroPie should have disabled it for you automatically.

                      I tested the same game (Book of Mudora) and I have no issues with the sound in Solarus. Check again if you have PulseAudio installed and active - it's installed automatically in Raspberry Pi OS if you install the desktop.

                        Should I do this:

                        sudo apt-get --purge remove pulseaudio
sudo apt-get autoremove

                          You can disable PulseAudio from the Audio menu in RetroPie - it will tell you if it's active. Removing it might remove other needed packages also.

                            I don't see this option in the Audio menu.

                            I have :
                            0 - HDMI
                            1 - Headphone
                            M - Mixer
                            R - Rest to default

                              @dteam Then you don't have PulseAudio installed or it's not active/enabled.

                                Audio card = default
                                Audio device Headphone

                                enable video audion = on
                                OMX player audio device = alsa

                                All my emulators working fine except that one. It's strange

                                  Might be an OpenAL issue. Can you try creating a configuration file - $HOME/.alsoftrc - with the following contents:

                                  [alsa]
mmap = false

                                  and re-try starting a Solarus game ?
