No sound in ES after doing update and theme installs

pjft

Are you using VLC or OMX player in ES? Do you have "use OMX player" enabled in the other options menu? Does it make a difference?

Maybe some update to the video player/library is causing that? Or something with the OS update?

normanmsu96

@pjft I believe OMX player is the setting, but I will double check that

Hex

@normanmsu96 Can you post your settings config file

normanmsu96

@hex Yes sir, I will when I get home. Thanks for the read and feedback !

Hex

Also post the output of this command

aplay -l

pjft

One thing you can try, if you're using OMX Player, is to run OMX player on the command line to play ones of the videos that don't have sound, and see if it does play with sound.

Just to confirm, you're getting the other ES navigation sound?

normanmsu96

@hex Certainly will

normanmsu96

@pjft What is that command?

normanmsu96

@hex You mean type exactly that or sudo aplay -1 ....Sorry unfamiliar w key in commands

Hex

just the command. no need of sudo

pjft

@normanmsu96 in the command line, should be

omxplayer <video filename>

Some settings may impact device functionality. See link above for details

uncomment if you get no picture on HDMI for a default "safe" mode

#hdmi_safe=1

uncomment this if your display has a black border of unused pixels visible

and your display can output without overscan

#disable_overscan=1

uncomment the following to adjust overscan. Use positive numbers if console

goes off screen, and negative if there is too much border

#overscan_left=16
#overscan_right=16
#overscan_top=16
#overscan_bottom=16

uncomment to force a console size. By default it will be display's size minus

overscan.

#framebuffer_width=1280
#framebuffer_height=720

uncomment if hdmi display is not detected and composite is being output

#hdmi_force_hotplug=1

uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (this will force VGA)

#hdmi_group=1
#hdmi_mode=1

uncomment to force a HDMI mode rather than DVI. This can make audio work in

DMT (computer monitor) modes

#hdmi_drive=2

uncomment to increase signal to HDMI, if you have interference, blanking, or

no display

#config_hdmi_boost=4

uncomment for composite PAL

#sdtv_mode=2

#uncomment to overclock the arm. 700 MHz is the default.
gpu_mem=400
arm_freq=1350
over_voltage=5
sdram_freq=500
core_freq=500
gpu_freq=400

Uncomment some or all of these to enable the optional hardware interfaces

#dtparam=i2c_arm=on
#dtparam=i2s=on
#dtparam=spi=on

Uncomment this to enable the lirc-rpi module

#dtoverlay=lirc-rpi

Additional overlays and parameters are documented /boot/overlays/README

Enable audio (loads snd_bcm2835)

dtparam=audio=on
gpu_mem_256=128
gpu_mem_512=256
gpu_mem_1024=256
overscan_scale=1
display_rotate=1

After all that I discovered I need sound setting in ES as PCM instead of SPEAKER. Back working !

Hex

So its working now?

BTW I was asking you for the es_settings.conf file. Also you should quote the Code you want to insert using this symbol ``` and it will look like this

Hello

pjft

@normanmsu96 huh. Did you set it to speaker at any point per chance? The default is PCM so I'm surprised that that was changed for you.

Glad you're sorted though.

normanmsu96

@pjft I guess I had changed that but I don't recall doing it

normanmsu96

@hex Yes working now, sorry for the confusion
