    I have some ohm speakers connected to my raspberry pi zero 2w and when I turn the raspberry on, the audio only works during the retropie intro. When the intro finishes, it automatically connects to the HDMI audio and I have already tried to force the audio jack through the raspi-config/general settings. The audio jack 3.5 mm option doesn't appear, only HDMI.

      How are the speakers connected to the Pi ? The Pi Zero 2W doesn't have an analog jack so the 3.5' audio jack option doesn't appear by default.

        @mitu I rebuilded the audio jack following this tutorial:

          Can you post your config.txt ? I suppose you've added the necessary options there to activate the audio.

              @iLouzze I also remembered that my speakers are PWM

                Make sure you're using either GPIO 12/13 or 18/19 for the audio, then add to your config.txt just

                dtoverlay=audremap,pins_12_13
                

                or

                dtoverlay=audremap,pins_18_19
                

                depending on which GPIO pins you use. Remove any other options that you added.

                    @iLouzze ok, I already found the problem and the headphone option did appeared but when I try to open the audio menu again it tells me this:

                      You can add it at the end of config.txt.

                      Did you disable the onboard audio (dtparam=audio=on) from config.txt ? You can use either the Audio menu in RetroPie or raspi-config's audio options, the result should be the same.

                        @mitu ok I already have my speakers working. It was just a code I needed to write below the ```

                        Enable audio (loads snd_bcm2835)
