              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?

                          @hex # For more options and information see

                          http://rpf.io/configtxtreadme

                          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.

                          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

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

                              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

                                @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.

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