      Hello. I just installed Drastic from the experimental packages, and it works awesome for the most part. The problem is, there is NO sound at all. All other emulators work fine. I know it's still experimental, but I thought I'd see if anyone else ran into this.

      I'm running retropie 4.4 (downloaded the official image from the site), a pie 3b+ not overclocked. I've got about 10 other emulators that work fine. I'm outputting sound to both 3.5mm and hdmi.

      I've tried 3 different castlevanias (multiple versions as well) and elite beat agents, all with the same issue. Sound is fine in the retropie menus as well. Any ideas?

        Can you post a log file after running a DS game - the contents of /dev/shm/runcommand.log ?

          @mitu it doesnt appear to be creating a log file, the folder is empty. Or at least not saving it. Also, if I hit f4 to bring up the terminal after playing a ds game, the system freezes and I need to kill power. Very odd.

            @oldspicy There's an updated version which fixes the framebuffer corruption after exiting - make sure you update your RetroPie-Setup script and then update the emulator.

              @mitu that worked! Now I'm getting an error "1v10: VolumeControl::init() - Failed to attach to default card!" But the sound is working, so I dont know if it's a big deal or not.
