    Hello!
    I installed version 4.6 of retropie on my overclocked Raspberry Pi 3B, and everything was working perfectly. Today I updated to version 4.6.1 from the retropie-setup menu and I got the audio issue described in the pinned post, which has been solved following the steps. However, I tested the performance by running Mario Kart 64, and it runs slower than in version 4.6.
    Is it possible that the overclock settings -in config.txt file- are being ignored? Is there any other possible reason?
    In case they are useful, these are my overclock settings:

    total_mem=1024
    arm_freq=1300
    gpu_freq=500
    core_freq=500
    sdram_freq=500
    sdram_schmoo=0x02000020
    over_voltage=2
    over_voltage_sdram=2
    

    Many thanks for your support.

      @MVivi which emulator specifically did you use to test Mario kart 64?

        Sorry, I forgot to tell that. I'm using mupen64plus, and I've tried all three plugins with the same result.

          @MVivi did you also update mupen64plus?

            I chose the option to update all installed packages, including system packages.

              @MVivi A couple things to check. Make sure that you are not running in 4k display mode. Go to raspi-config and set a lower resolution like 1080p. Also go to /opt/retropie/configs/n64/mupen64plus.cfg and make sure that in the gliden64 section that the hybrid filter option is disabled.

                Unfortunately no success, I had already disabled the hybrid filter, and lowering the resolution even to 720x480 had no positive effect.
