      Can anyone explain what this error means? I'm using 4.1.14, a Pi 3 and audio is set to 3.5mm jack. Audio works on every system I'm using except for Dreamcast.

      ALSA lib pcm.c:7843:(snd_pcm_r

          @edmaul69 Thanks for the heads up, maybe this is more of a known issue than I realize. The good news is, games seem to play really smoothly at least.

            @Ghost-Note I ran into this audio issue too for Reicast emulator. I dug into this issue this weekend and changed the following Reicast configuration files to resolve my Alysa driver related issue. Hope this helps!~

            • Located in: /opt/retropie/configs/dreamcast There's 2 config files i.e. (emulators.cfg, emu.cfg) I recommend making backups those before proceeding.

            • In "emu.cfg" verify the following is set to [audio] disable = 0

            • In "emulators.cfg" Append the following statement to configuration file and save:

            reicast-audio-alsa = "CON:/opt/retropie/emulators/reicast/bin/reicast.sh alsa %ROM%"

            • Now you need to choose "reicast-audio-alsa" as default option in Runcommand Launch Menu. https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/runcommand
