      Just wanted to say thank you for this help. I had the same "failed to find mixer elements" problem with my Retropie on Raspberry Pi 4, with the Picade hardware. The volume was always very loud and could not be changed, but once I made this edit to the es_settings.cfg file, I rebooted and I was finally able to modify the volume in the Emulation Station settings UI.

        @alex-levi I know this is old but I need to tell you how much I appreciate your post! I am brand new to raspberry pi and didn't know how to do the other recommended changes. However, what you suggested not only eliminated the error constantly popping up, it also fixed the forced maxed-out volume level issue! I just reset and tested, now I can lower the volume and it keeps the value I move the slider to. Thank you so much!
