[Solved] Video is slow on composite screen (Gearbest) and audio muffled, but works good on HDMI?

[GunZi]

Resizing the video to 320x240 gives the same result, also cropping the video doesn't help either.

I tried adding audio_pwn_mode=2 before adding the splash screen yes, I saw it made no difference in audio quality so I just removed it.

i'd start a fresh again (i know it may seem a bit extreme or like extra work)

just dont add the "audio_pwn_mode=2" at all this time.....


also have you tried another splash video (just to test things out)....

The only other splash video I tried was the default one. It lagged/stuttered also, I could try some more tomorrow when I start again with a fresh image.

personally i doubt its the splash (could be wrong)

just forget this code "audio_pwn_mode=2" completely next time you compile your image....

see if that resolves it...


(NB: i have a splash you can download in my custom GBZ build post, which works...like they all do)

I found a solution!

By going to /opt/retropie/supplementary/splashscreen/asplashscreen.sh

I edit line 35 in asplashscreen.sh (press F4 to edit)

Changing

Code: Select all

omxplayer -o both -b --layer 10000 "$line"

into

Code: Select all

omxplayer -b --layer 10000 "$line"

To save edit: Ctrl-X -> y -> Enter

I tested this on my pi0 1.3 (which has audio connected) and everything works great!

EDIT:
Here's a link to someone that had a similar bug https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/171 ... -composite
Link to github issue: https://github.com/popcornmix/omxplayer/issues/625

EDIT 2: on the github link it is mentioned that this issue can also be fixed by adding

Code: Select all

audio_pwm_mode=0

to the config file. I'll test this tomorrow.

EDIT:
Ok, I tested today

Code: Select all

audio_pwm_mode=0

and it worked, no need to edit asplashscreen.sh

congratulations.....



just putting it out there....
if you didnt add audio_pwm_mode=2
and just left it, it would automatically be in audio_pwm_mode=0 (could be wrong on this).....
(i would also hazard a guess, that if you didnt add "audio_pwm_mode=0" you'd also be ok, like alot of the other builds out there)


enjoy....
