Splashscreen Audio through Headphone Jack Problems

aubie11

I built a pi arcade and it uses headphone jack to external speakers. I am using a pi3 board. I have updated to retropie 3.7 using binaries. I built a custom splash screen on my mac using imovie and saved as mp4. It will run when I enable custom splashscreens but sound goes to HDMI not headphone jack. I altered the /etc/init.d/asplashscreen and added -o local to omxplayer command. I rebooted and the movie would not even play.

I found this old guide http://blog.sheasilverman.com/2013/09/adding-a-startup-movie-to-your-raspberry-pi/#comment-31607 I then did
sudo chmod a+x /etc/init.d/asplashscreen
sudo insserv /etc/init.d/asplashscreen
It worked once. I was excited but when I rebooted again the movie does not even show. The video will not even load unless I remove -o local. Then it will load but the sound goes to HDMI. Very confusing

I tried to go into audio settings and say only use headphone jack. This works but only after it boots, so the splashscreen sound still goes through HDMI. Here is what my asplashscreen currently looks like. Any help appreciated. This is a gift for my daughter and this is the last step.

Did you ever solve this problem in the end? I had the opposite problem. My splashscreen sound was going through the headphone jack and I had to force it through HDMI. I think you got the order of the line wrong. Try using this:

omxplayer -b -o local --layer 10000 "$line"
