      It's named Keyboard.

      Of course it is, what was I thinking.
      Looks like the Picade script maps the GPIO inputs to keyboard keys with an overlay, mapping start/coin to buttons Q/W (?). Do you have any other programs capturing the keyboard input and executing commands on inputs (like triggerhappy) ? Is this a new RetroPie installation or you're using an existing image ?

        @mitu I don't have key capturing software. I guess I could download one but I've never used one. I am using an existing image. I would hate to have to rebuild this image due to the amount of work it took to get this build where I want it. I'm going to go bed for now but I will resume my work later in the day. I appreciate your efforts. This is the last thing I have to resolve and my Picade will be complete.

          @ultra-magnuss I haven't looked at this in a few days. For now I have remapped my buttons to not use the start and coin up button. I leave a putty session open to turn the volume down if someone hits it but I would like to figure out how to fix it. It's not as urgent for now since I have a kind of workaround but I would like to figure this out. I'm sure it's a configuration somewhere but don't know where.

            @mitu I also have the exact same issue as @ULTRA-MAGNUSS. I have gone through this thread many times and still cannot figure out the issue. My current PICADE configuration is same as his.

            alsamixer
            

            does the same for me. "This sound device does not have any controls".

            When I run

            amixer contents
            

            I actually get nothing. My .asoundrc file is exactly like Ultra-Magnuss' and have even renamed and deleted the file. Nada. Volume is still 100% even if I edit with the PICADE on screen controls.

            Interestingly, if I do an

            speaker-test -twav
            

            It plays the audio file for "front" and "left".

            I wonder if the amixer not returning anything is causing an issue.

            Help????

            Thanks,
            David

              Post your $HOME/.asoundrc.
