+We are working on connecting the ODROID N2 running EmuELEC to the USB Multibit DAC module inside of our [[https://www.schiit.com/products/ragnarok-1|Schiit Ragnarok]] or [[https://www.schiit.com/products/modi-1|Schiit Modi 2 or 3]].  This is critical for this standing/sitting configuration to work properly in {{fa>headphones}} HiFi {{fa>headphones}}.
+The PRE-OUT on the Schiit Ragnarok is currently connected to a [[https://www.svsound.com/products/pb-1000|SVS PB-1000 Subwoofer]].  We will take a look at moving the PRE-OUT to our [[https://www.schiit.com/products/valhalla-1|Schiit Valhalla 2]] & Beyerdynamic headphones for true HiFi retro gaming with a tube amp.  We can re-connect the subwoofer through the OUTPUT ports on the rear of the Valhalla 2.  This will subject the subwoofer to the tube amp.  fun.
+The problem?  USB Audio currently only working in EmulationStation & is lost once I enter RetroArch.  On true RetroPie, this is fully configurable.  In EmuELEC, not so much unfortunately.
+I could manually specify the audio device in RetroArch using the list below, or look up [[https://github.com/libretro/Lakka-LibreELEC/wiki/Audio-settings|best practices for handling USB audio & RetroArch]].

+Using that information, we see there are two potential ways to manually specify our audio device in RetroArch.
+<code>
+audio_device = "hw:1:0"
+audio_device = "sysdefault:CARD=Multibit"
+</code>
+Will test this out.
