Rascas

Please post your Kodi log:

And a photo of the problem if possible.

@mikecoscia Read the forum rules https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/2/forum-rules - do not discuss/ mention Kodi addons which are designed for watching pirate/bootleg video.

Thanks, here is a photo of what I am getting during video playback. Working on the logs.

I have this issue in a slightly different way - I don't get the error when playing videos but it pops up (three times) every time you launch Kodi, and after that, the error appears when you launch a game/emulator (one time, only if you've already launched Kodi prior to). Doesn't seem to inhibit functionality, just annoying.

@electricmba It is just a message, you can ignore it, we will hide this in the next kodi version. 3 times are most likely the times you started Kodi, one message for which time, and then it stays there until something clears the screen.

ssh into your pi and run the following command: sudo apt-get install pulseaudio

it will install it and you shouldn't have the issue going forward.

@retoturtle thanks. Did this and was able to update Kodi and don't get the message anymore, but now get this error during video playback:

Lvl10: VolumeControl::init() - Failed to find mixer elements!

Are you having any audio issue?

Try looking at this thread: https://github.com/Aloshi/EmulationStation/issues/433

Only audio issues I noted were when I closed out of Kodi, the menu audio was off by a second or so.
