      Hey everyone. I'm currently having an issue. I recently reimaged my pi and have begun setting everything back up. Initially all the sounds worked then somewhere along the line the launch sound stopped. It doesn't matter which theme or file I use. Scroll works as well as my bgm.

      Any ideas?

        @numotiv It's a pretty vague description, but are you talking about splashscreen video sound? I have seen this stop working when changing to a USB audio solution.

          No sorry I mean the sound that plays when you select a game. There is a scroll sound and launch sound that ES is capable of playing.

            @numotiv That makes sense--theme-dependent I would expect. I don't have a launch sound for any theme I have loaded.

              Do you have your transitions style set to 'instant' by any chance? If so that will be the cause as there seems to be a bug with that transition style that prevents the launch sound from playing. Change it to a different transition style and the launch sound will play (providing the theme supports it).

                @ruckage that would explain it! Thanks ruckage. The theme is SNES mini.
