      Honestly, it flashes by too quickly for me to see the full error, but whenever I launch a game (or Kodi) there's an error that the volumecontrol can't be found. I know why, and I'd like to stop the error.

      Now the tech stuff. I use Linux exclusively at home. My main rig is Arch,with 5:1 surround sound and pulseaudio. The Pi is connected to the same monitor, and configured with pulseaudio to connect to the pulse server on the main rig, meaning I get 5:1 sound from the Pi via the main rig. This is probably the source of the error, since the Pi has no direct control over the audio, but simply sends it to pulse.

      Whilst it doesn't create any problems, I tend to view error messages as being a warning that something isn't working, rather than something simply doesn't understand what is happening, so is there a way I can turn this particular error/warning off?
