      Hello guys,

      I have some problems with the 'Allo Boss DAC'.
      I switched from 'hifiberry dac pro' to the 'Allo Boss'.
      I have formatted my SD card and reinstalled a fresh Retropie built.

      I configured my 'config.txt' file in the 'boot' folder for the 'Allo Boss DAC'
      And both LEDs are on when booted in Retropie (first LED means power, Second means that it (should) work properly /the overlay is activated) .
      also I edited the 'asound.conf' file in the 'etc' folder.

      config.txt:


      #Allo Boss DAC configuration
      #dtparam=audio=off
      dtparam=i2c_arm=on
      dtoverlay=allo-boss-dac-pcm512x-audio, 24db_digital_gain


      asound.conf:


      pcm.bossDAC {
      type softvol
      slave.pcm "plughw:1"
      control.name "PCM"
      control.card 1
      }

      pcm.!default {
      type plug
      slave.pcm "bossDAC"
      }

      ctl.!default {
      type hw
      card 1
      }


      Now the problem, When I boot in the menu (of Retropie) I got audio, like when scrolling in roms I can hear the "beebs".
      But when I try to run a game I got no sound at all, Also I noticed the second LED goes off.

      I've tried to configure the audio setup, and then mixers to make sure the BossDAC soundcard is selected, and it seems that the problem is somewhere else.

      Is there anybody who can help me with this problem, or has the same problem ?
