Music background Menu Error

MicheliBarcello

Good evening guys, how are you ?

I downloaded the current version of retropie ( retropie-buster-4.8-rpi2_3_zero2w.img.gz ) but updated it with the command to leave pt-BR ( sudo apt install libcec ) ( git clone --recursive https://github.com/flyinghead /EmulationStation.git ) .....

It translates the menu correctly, but the background music stops working, there is an .mp3 file in the roms/music folder.

When I click on start, audio, it is always at 0%, even if I increase it to 100%, it returns to 0% automatically.

I believe you have to change something in the configuration to get the music working again.

Can anyone help me?

I want the background music to play while I choose the emulator and I can increase or decrease its volume.

When I enter the emulator, when changing rons it makes noise, it just doesn't play the backgrund music :(

@MicheliBarcello I am not familiar with that fork, but RetroPie/EmulationStation, from which that one is forked, doesn't have any in-built background music functionality. Is that something the fork is supposed to have added? Otherwise, you'll need to manually install an external third-party script to manage the music. @ExarKunIv has compiled a list of music players at the end of the first post of this thread:

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

The error you're seeing means the default Audio settings in EmulationStation need to be changed, but that depends on how your audio is connected (HDMI/Analog/USB card ?).

I did a test, I recorded the image on the SD card ( retropie-buster-4.8-rpi2_3_zero2w.img.gz )
And I put 1 roms/snes and 1 music roms/music

The problem continues with the menu.

Sound missing in EmulationStation and/or games.

System Volume slider stuck at 0% in EmulationStation's Sound settings.
I can't change the volume through the menu

I only recorded the clean image and added 1 rom and 1 song and the error continues.
I'm using an HDMI monitor, but the sound is 3.5 jackl with USB power

You still haven't said the Pi model you're using, as asked in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. Can you please add that info ?

You need to configure the Audio:

first in the RetroPie system, by opening the Audio entry there and choosing Headphones as your audio output
next in EmulationStation's menu, under the Audio sub-menu, choose the default card to be either PCM or Headphones.

After updating Retropie and switching to pt-BR, the background music in roms/music stopped. The volume stays at 0%, even when adjusted. I want the music to play like Spotify while choosing an emulator, but it stops when entering the emulator.
