EmulationStation audio error
-
I'm also experiencing this. I have the following:
Pi Model or other hardware: 3B
Power Supply used: Standard Canakit 2.5A adapter
RetroPie Version Used: 4.8
Built From: Raspberry Pi imager, Retropie option
USB Devices connected: Xbox gamepad (currently having issues with mode and gamepad recognition by ES)
Controller used: Same
Error messages received: "VolumeControl::Init() - Failed to find mixer elements!"
Emulator: All
How to replicate the problem: Error message appears after selecting any option (ROM or Retropie Config options) from ES -
@jdriscol This is an issue with EmulationStation, not streaming via Twitch. You should have opened a separate topic, instead of piggybacking on an existing one just be cause there's a similar error - I'm splitting this into a separate topic.
Your issue is most likely due to PulseAudio being installed - disable PulseAudio from the Audio menu in RetroPie and try again. If that doesn't work, post the output of
amixer -l.
