Audio devices not found GPi case

Souciot

Hello, I've been going through this site and others for days trying to figure out how to make my audio work on my GPi case...
I modifyied the config.txt and cmdline.txt with solutions that worked for others but it won't work with me. When I want to change audio in the settings it tells me that no audio device was found. also when i type aplay - l it tells me "no soundcard found"
I don't know what to do...

Pi Model or other hardware: Zero W
Power Supply used: cable 5V or battery
RetroPie Version Used (eg 3.6, 3.8.1, 4.1 - do not write latest): v4.8 technically
Built From: (Pre made SD Image on RetroPie website, Berryboot, or on top of existing OS etc.. - please provide the filename of any image used) raspberry pi imager then reinstalled on the raspi-setup
USB Devices connected: /
Controller used: GPi case
Error messages received: "no soundcard found"
Verbose log (if relevant):
Guide used: (Mention if you followed a guide) forums
File: (File with issue - with FULL path)

Attachment of config files: (PLEASE USE PASTEBIN.COM FOR LARGE LOGS) added at the end of confi.txt : https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/XT5Yqdwh87/

Can you post your entire config.txt ?
I don't think you need any cmdline.txt changes, so you can restore the default one that comes with the image.

@mitu Thank you for answering
I tried reinstalling it with the lastest version available on retropie's web site to see if a clean fresh install would change anything (it didn't). Here's the config.txt that I modified a bit (added 1 line or 2 at the bottom) : https://pastebin.com/ikfRTr67

for cmdline.txt I just added "snd_bcm2835.enable_hdmi=1 snd_bcm2835.enable_headphones=1 snd_bcm2835.enable_compat_alsa=1", so I should remove it ?

Are you sure you've not installed Recalbox on it ? The config file you posted is not included with RetroPie and has a lot other configurations for pins 18/19 which may override your own configuration.

Those shouldn't be neeed, you can remove it.

@mitu
No it is the latest version of retropie for rpi0 I could find, not recalbox

@Souciot quoting your pasted config.txt

# default CEC name
cec_osd_name=recalbox

@Souciot Check to make sure that the patch you've applied is for RetroPie and not for Recalbox. RetroFlag provides separate config.txt files for each.

@Ashpool I don't understand : I used raspberry Pi Imager and flashed retropie (first the image it was offering for retropie and then the image downloaded on retropie.org), and before I just erase any partition or volume on my sdcard so I don't understand where this is coming from...

Souciot

@G30FF in the readme of the patch it's written : "Why need to install display GPi Case patch for Retropie and Recalbox?" so I suppose it shouldn't mess with retropie ?

Ok, sorry my fault, was buffled by that line, but as it seem that is part of the config.txt from the retroflag patch, and from a brief look into it, the only real difference between your posted config.txt and theirs are the additional (last) two lines (#gpi added, dtoverlay=audremap,pins_18_19,enable_jack=on) within yours.

@G30FF If I haven't missed it, for the GPICase (not the 2, nor the 2W) there is only one patch provided (one config.txt and two overlays (screen and audio)).

I only have experience with the GPi Case 2, so my mistake. The GPi Case 2 patch includes one for Recalbox 7, one for Recalbox 8, one for Batocera, and one for RetroPie. I downloaded the GPi Case 1 patch, and I see why the recalbox string is there, because it's included in the patched config.txt. Sorry, I won't be much help here.
