      Is it possible to update step 5 of the USB Audio instructions on the RetroPie Wiki to create /etc/asound.conf with the following content:

      pcm.card1 {
        type hw card 1
      }
      
      ctl.card1 {
        type hw card 1
      }
      
      pcm.!default card1
      

      This will set the name of the volume control to "PCM" instead of "Speaker" in the mixer and resolves the annoying "lvl0: VolumeControl::init() - Failed to find mixer elements!" error messages while allowing the volume slider to work in the EmulationStation settings UI.

      Thanks.
