Emulation station / Retropie fails to launch to 4" LCD (solved)

(1/2) > >>

Duhjoker:
 after setting up Retropie on my Pi I then added the wave share 4 inch LCD and I can't get emulation station to load to the LCD. I keep getting the error below.

Lv10 AudioManager Error - unable to open sdl audio: ALSA: couldn't open audio device: no such file or directory

I tried downloading ALSA but that didn't work. I also tried going into rasping-config and forcing it to the headphone jack. Oddly enough if I add the HDMI cable it will play on my tv, and I have sound coming through the jack.

Would anybody happen to have a solution?

MacGyver:
You must have missed my rant on that screen.  If it's the 480x320 SPI version, just give up now (and return it if you can), it will only frustrate you.  The SPI interface cannot output at a rate faster than 10-15 frames per second at that resolution.

I have no idea about the audio issue.

Duhjoker:
What about the 4.3 inch screen or the 5 inch?

Duhjoker:
 Is there a way to turn off the touch part of the touchscreen? Make it display only.

Duhjoker:
Well I feel duped. I think they should clearly post this info so people can make the right choice for what they need. Kind of defeats the purpose.

I literally tried everything known to man today to try and get it going. My eyes are so tired I can barely write this. On the other hand I learned a bunch of stuff.
