      some times in some TVs the pi doesn't have sound in emulationstation and in the game.
      :(
      I found that in certain tv, like In my house the sound is OK, but in the TV of my friend it doesn't have sound.

      Any one have this happening know why? Or a way to correct this?

        a myriad of displays out there, from crts to monitors to consumer tvs, that the Pi can handle most of them automatically is almost incredible. but it can't auto deal with them all. luckily for most Pis, they live happy lives just having their output set to one display.

        you can probably find a video/sound mode that can accommodate a couple of displays here;

          This also has some useful ways to force audio:

            Actually this is a pretty common problem.

            You need to edit the config.txt file. If you insert the MicroSD card into a PC you'll find this file at the root of the SD card. You can edit it with Notepad.

            If you're within the Pi OS using SSH or locally, you can find it at /boot/config.txt. You can edit it with Nano.

            Change the line hdmi_drive = 1 to hdmi_drive = 2

            Reboot if you did this via SSH or locally.
