Sound issue in Raspberry Pi's #681

Open sergiohf opened 3 years ago

sergiohf commented 3 years ago

I have 2 raspberry pi's. RPi 3 and 4. In both versions i am facing an issue with the sound that only affects attract mode (doesn't affect games or emulationstation). Since the kernel update for the RPi (from june 2020) attract mode loads with no audio and in the console shows:

AL lib: (EE) ALCplaybackAlsa_mixerProc: Wait timeout... buffer size too low?

And this keep repeating every second. The installation of the Attract mode is on top a Retropie distribution, compiled from source on both Pi's. When i downgrade the kernel the issue disappear.

Found a solution (or workaround i dont know), if interest to anyone:

Here’s the step-by-step solution:

sudo touch ~/.alsoftrc sudo nano ~/.alsoftrc

paste this, save, exit:

[alsa] mmap = false

then:

sudo cp ~/.alsoftrc /etc/openal/alsoft.conf sudo reboot

Same issue and have been searching for solution for a long time! RPie 3B+ here. This worked! Thank you!

For what it's worth, I had same issue on RPi 4, but I feel confident this very well may have fixed the issue with the 4 as well.
