Installing the desktop may install PulseAudio, which can break the audio for emulators. You can disable it from the Audiosettings in the RetroPie system.
Note that if you do that, you'll need to also remove the lxplug-volumepulse package, otherwise when starting the desktop it will cause a crash of the panel, since it doesn't find PulseAudio.

@mitu thanks
is there any alsa applet for panel?
by the way
audio config always says enable pulseaudio
and no matter how it is still enabled

And @mitu, dont forget to add apt purge in new version of script and install alsa applet for panel then.

Yes, I think it's the lxplug-volume package.

Are you using the latest RetroPie-Setup version ? Did you run an update after installing from the RetroPie image ?
