Sorry, forgot to mention you! Thanks so much. I tried using the config.txt you gave me but it didn't do anything for some reason. But your advice definitely led to the solutuon. Thank you

SOLVED! After all but giving up, I tried to edit my config.txt again after having no success the first time. I forced composite by turning off HDMI hotplugging.

From what I had seen other people doing it looked like they were wiring the white audio cable to that pad, so that's what I did even though I realized that didn't really make much s...

First: New to the forums, thank you to all of you guys that have put in work to allow a complete newbie learn tons about making stuff. I'd never even soldered before, and now I feel like an old pro.
