Audio issue

Post by skrapps914 » Wed Aug 21, 2019 5:53 am

Hey all its been a while. I updated my retropie version, and now i cannot seem to get the audio to come out through the speaker. however it will come out through the hdmi. i have gone into audio settings and tried adjusting the volume, tried auto, tried selecting the jack, and nothing still. is there something im missing? do i have to edit a configuration to enable the audio somewhere?

thanks

Im assuming it was working before the update? Is it a usb audio or PWM audio?

you do need to make sure it is enabled in the /boot/config.txt file (you can edit it on the sdcard directly from a computer if you can't get into the pi's terminal).

make sure you at least have the first lines below, the last two are optional, but might get you better sound quality (these assume you are using the standard pins 18 and/or 13)

Code: Select all

dtparam=audio=on

#stereo
dtoverlay=pwm-2chan,pin=18,func=2,pin2=13,func2=4
#mono
#dtoverlay=pwm,pin=18,func=2
#alt mono
#dtoverlay=pwm,pin=13,func2=4

disable_audio_dither=1
audio_pwm_mode=0
if it was working before, i would expect it to still work, but maybe there is a similar issue to the composite-out problem with 4.5

I'm having audio issues as well but only when I load a rom, works in menu.

I'm using Kites CS. USB audio I believe.
