How to Disable Digital Volume

Digital Volume is enabled by default so if you want to use the usual Analog Volume Wheel, you need to disable it and there are two ways you can that:

Method 1:

Press and hold the “SELECT” button for 15 seconds to disable Digital Volume and reboot.

Method 2:

With the builtin usb serial communication of the tinkerBOY Controller v3.0 you can easily enable or disable Digital Volume  In order to do that, you need install the minicom program by following the instruction at tinkerBOY Controller v3.0: Settings or proceed if you’re using my pre-built RetroPie image..

Start minicom by typing sudo minicom. Start by checking the current status of the Digital Volume by pressing ‘d’.

Here’s how to enable or disable it:

  • Press the number ‘0’ to enable or disable Digital Volume.

That’s it. 🙂
