      I know I can turn off the video audio in the menu but is there a way to reduce or turn off the audio just for the screensavers?

      I want to have the audio on the video previews in the menu but when the screensaver kicks in for there to be no audio. Is this possible?

        There's an option in EmulationStation 2.9.1 for this - https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation/commit/3b2227b4d1ff541cdd637fe83231943cc31cbcd8. Update your EmulationStation package and you'll probably get this version.

          Oh amazing. Sorry for such a simple question but how's the best way to update EmulationStation?

            Didn't realise it was quite so simple. Updated to 2.9.1 and can see the extra setting within the screensaver settings. All working perfectly.

            Should it help anyone in the future the steps I went through were

            In emulationstation, go to Tools > RetroPie Setup.
            Once in, select Update RetroPie-Setup script and select yes to update it.
            Now select Manage packages, followed by Manage core packages, select emulationstation and finally Update from binary.
            Once that's done restart EmulationStation
