        Is the hyperx sound cloud an USB sound card/adapter or just a pair of headphones ? If the 'adapter' is connected via headphones, did you choose the Audio output in the Audio settings in RetroPie ?

          @mitu SOLVED!

          Find your desired card with:

          cat /proc/asound/cards
          and then create /etc/asound.conf with the following entries:

          defaults.pcm.card 1
          defaults.ctl.card 1

          After read this post:

            This is similar to the audio settings menu's configuration, but using a custom file and not the system one.

              @mitu With the retropie menu it was impossible for me, believe me, I selected it and it didn't take it.

                Not sure what didn't take means, I assume it hasn't worked after you selected Headphones as output ? Or maybe you got an error after the selection ? Can you post the contents of the file/etc/alsa/conf.d/99-retropie.conf, where RetroPie saves the audio settings ?

                    Are you really sure that you've used the Audio setup in RetroPie and not the one from raspi-config ?
                    Did you install over RaspiOS Lite or some other image ? We don't explicitely support PINN, but I'm guessing it installs the Raspbian/RaspiOS version from the Raspberry Pi servers.

                      @mitu Yes, I used it, finally in the last attempt before getting it, it was there where I configured it, but previously saving the configuration did not work for me, it always set the default HDMI or that's what I think

                        I didn't quite get the gist of it - did it work or not ?
