I cannot seem to get Lakka to output audio to the Speaker Jack.
Lakka sees two audio devices, but both look like the same thing, and neither gives me audio.
Lakka (community) Version: 2.0
Lakka:~ # aplay -L

Use Putty to login to your Pie User = root Password = root
At the terminal cmd prompt type
nano /storage/.config/autostart.sh
This will create a startup file
Inside this file type in
amixer cset numid=3 1
Use ctrl+x to exit the file then Y to save the file.
Reboot and your sound should now be coming from your audio jack every time you startup Lakka
HDMI to VGA adaptor
If you are using a HDMI to VGA adaptor on a Raspberry Pi 1 or 2 and you want to use the jack output for the sound you have to write in config.txt on the first partition of the SD card:
hdmi_ignore_edid_audio=1
So the board’ll not use the HDMI sound output.
Much like how you do it for Rasbian, the command:
amixer cset numid=3 1
Will force the audio out the speaker jack.
According to the Lakka documentation we are somewhat limited to how we can enter console commands, with SSH being the easiest.
In Lakka:
Settings->Services->SSH
Information->Network Information (to get the IP Address)
On a connected PC: in Putty (or similar). Enter the ip address in the host text box. When prompted for username/pass enter root/root.
