Sorry new to this but I figured out how to get a terminal by using Putty and getting in via ssh. I run the command but cannot locate the log.txt file?
The file is where you launched RA. You can open it with an editor nano, vim or emacs ? Otherwise use for example less log.txt and copy and paste it.
If you can’t succeed to open it, use filezilla or winscp to copy the file on your PC.
I have kodi on a micro sd card so I pulled it and searched the entire card and it could not be found. My set up is a pi 3, Openelec 7.0, and Kodi 16.1. I open it through program addons.
Any help guys?
[QUOTE=gouchi;52438]Can you try to provide some log ? Try to launch RA with :
retroarch --menu --verbose >> log.txt 2>&1
And the information is in the log.txt file.
Thank you.[/QUOTE]
I can’t seem to find the log.txt file… I’ve used Filezilla and searched the entire drive, I’ve pulled the micro SD card and searched it with my computer… I just can’t find it. I also don’t know how to run this command in Kodi as I can’t get a terminal unless I ssh in and that doesn’t seem to work either. I’m at a loss at this point. Are the steps different if it’s running on a pi?
You can type pwd before to get the path of the current directory then you launch RA.
pwd
retroarch --menu --verbose >> log.txt 2>&1
With my Vizio TV the only thing that works is running:
amixer cset numid=3 [b]2[/b]
to change the audio output to HDMI
The default setting is 0 (auto) which doesn’t always work for some reason.
if that command works, you can put it in autostart.sh so it gets run on boot
How are you getting a terminal on the pi to run these commands?
I can get in thru Putty…is that the correct way?
Holy crap I finally got it!! All the log says is
-sh: retroarch: not found-sh: retroarch: not found -sh: retroarch: not found
Thanks for the tip but still no audio…

Yeah, with Putty or any other ssh client.
That’s too bad it didn’t work. Did you try it in combination with hdmi_drive=2?
Yeah I have the HDMI settings as:
Force HDMI even if unplugged or powered off
hdmi_force_hotplug=1 hdmi_force_edid_audio=1 hdmi_drive=2
I appreciate the help.
gouchi I can run the command via Putty and retrieve the log file with Filezilla but all it says is
-sh: retroarch: not found . Any ideas what I’m doing wrong?

Hey there, a bit late but did you try going to retroarch.cfg and changing the audio device to “sysdefault=CARD:ALSA” and the audio driver to “alsa”? that worked for me
audio_driver = “ALSA” audio_device = “sysdefault:CARD=ALSA”
You switched : with = 
Hey everyone,
I am having the same issues with audio. only 2 devices show up with aplay, and neither of them are hdmi. I also have no audio devices shown in the gui.
