      @WarC0zes hello, i did a fresh installation on my system to check if it throw me the same problem, but no, it work normally.

      - First, i need you to install RetroPie BGM Player again, you can install it over the current installation (dont need to uninstall).
      [ Q. Why install again? A. Because, i have updated some code, and it could correct your problem. ]
      -- And check if you got the same problem.

      --- If yes:
      ---- I need to know if this occurs with fade effect, without fade effect or both.
      ---- I need you to check configs/all/ folder and check if you got this file-> runcommand-onend.sh
      ----- if yes, send me the code you find inside [if any] (you can open this file with any text editor).

      --- If no:
      ---- Nice.

          @WarC0zes thank for your reply, i think i found the problem.
          Install again, i updated the online version to correct this problem, but i need someone to test.

          If the problem persists, uninstall with uninstall.sh file that you found on github (https://github.com/Naprosnia/RetroPie_BGM_Player)
          and install again.

          leave some feedback please.

            Install again = not works.
            Uninstall with uninstall.sh and install again = Not works.

            weird all works before your new update.
            The only change I made since your update, is to steam link installed.

                        @Naprosnia I found a bug with fade effect when I leave the game, the system volume goes to 73% or 83% instead of staying at 100%. Without fade effect it's good, it stays at 100%.

                          @WarC0zes hello, if you enter a game with 100% volume, when you leave it, the volume go to 73/83?
                          I'll check that out.

                            @Naprosnia Yes, exactly. With fade effect enable.

                              @WarC0zes fixed now. I put an extra option on RetroPie-BGM-Player / BGM Update menu, to reinstall everything. So if you need to reinstall it, simply go to update and select reinstall.

                              But for now you need to reinstall again manually.

                                @Naprosnia It's good the volume stays at 100% now. Thanks.

                                  @Naprosnia Hey man, I love your implementation of this. Ultra noob friendly and integrated into the config menu for fine adjustments. I have a small idea/request. I like to display launch art, as well as have the BGM fade effect set. But currently they work independent of each other. Currently: Launch Game > Music Fades > Then launch art is displayed > game starts. I think it would be great if it could work like: Launch Game > Launch Art is displayed AS music is fading > game starts.

                                  I don't know if that's possible but you got a donation coming your way if you can :) Either way, keep up the great work!

                                            @Naprosnia may I ask which application do you use to play emulated soundtracks? Can you extend to play module files too?
