No audio on splash screen

Leanne

Hello, I'm quite new to Retropie and I'm having an issue with the splash screen video not playing audio on boot. I had a look at this post here:

[https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/17547/splash-screen-no-audio/16]

Which helped me on the right track. I typed in the following command and the audio worked:

omxplayer -o alsa "/home/pi/RetroPie/splashscreens/filename.mp4"

I just wasn't sure then how to get it to play the audio on boot as I didn't know what was meant in that post by "edit the script and modify line 35". I'm not sure what script I need to edit or how to access it to be able to change the omxplayer to -o alsa instead of -o both.

I also tried typing in this line:

omxplayer -o --adev device    Audio out device    :hdmi/local/both/alsa[:device]

which gave back:

bad argument for -o: Output device must be "hdmi", "local", "both" or "alsa".

Any help is greatly appreciated!

@leanne Ok I figured it out actually!, for anyone who is quite new to Retropie like myself, this is the command you must enter:

sudo nano /opt/retropie/supplementary/splashscreen/asplashscreen.sh

which will open a script so that you can edit a line that may look similar to this:

omxplayer -o both -b --layer 10000 “$line”

And change both to alsa:

omxplayer -o alsa -b --layer 10000 “$line”

It worked for me, hopefully it will work for you!

@Leanne Thank you. It worked for me too.
