      Ok gang,

      I added some games to my PSX folder. Went into SkyScraper and scraped appropriate content.

      Afterwards the audio in my screensaver and game preview stopped working but the audio in the actual game still works.

      Thoughts?

        @shadowjedi01 if the issue is only in PSX games you haven't tested before, it could just be a problem with specific roms that were downloaded

          @hellothere It's not just with PSX. It's universal. Again, I don't see how that would effect the screensaver.

          And my brother just informed me this issue was occurring before the roms were added.

            There are Start menu settings for both of these:

            sound settings >> enable video audio for the game previews and ui settings >> screensaver settings >> video screensaver settings >> mute screensaver audio for the screensaver.

            If that doesn't fix it or if those were already set appropriately, try enabling (or disabling if it's already enabled) OMX player here in the video screensaver menu and/or in main menu >> other settings >> use OMX player (hardware accelerated).

            After that you could start messing around with some of the other options in the sound settings menu but note your current settings first so you can restore them if necessary. Do you get other audio (navigation clicks) in EmulationStation?

              @sleve_mcdichael None of that worked.

              I've been literally ripping out my hair trying to figure this out.

                @shadowjedi01 shoot. Do you get any sound (navigation clicks) in ES?

                  @sleve_mcdichael Yes, I have actual in game audio.

                  But no, none of the clicks associated with switching between games in ES.
