              @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.
              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

                  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
