I have an issue with USB to 3.5mm audio and my Pi 5. It's seem to be detected but no sound in my headphones. Here's my setup. Do I do something wrong.
No sound in ... ? Emulators, EmulationStation, other test programs you have tried ?
Guide used: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/pull/3792
This is not a guide and it doesn't apply to your current situation, since the PR in question is about the built-in audio outputs on a Pi.

The linked documentation page is still valid - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Sound-Issues/#adding-a-custom-audio-device-audio-mixer. Did you follow the steps in the document to choose a Mixer device ? Remove any
.asoundrcconfiguration file you may have in$HOME, it shouldn't be needed. -
Not exactly the solution you are looking for, but my cabinet has 3.5mm speakers glued in so with the Pi 5 dropping the 3.5mm connection, found on of these. https://www.amazon.co.uk/BOWONG-Converter-HDMI2HDMI-Extractor-Projector/dp/B0BL6WRV3C/. Needs a power supply, but gives me the HDMI audio with no messing around with any drivers, options or settings.

Yes I did it. My two options seems to be Default and Master or HW and Headphone. Both doesn't work. I continue to dig it.
When I choose default and Master, I got no error message (mixer, etc.) but no sound in my headphone.

The documentation page shows how to choose from one of the mixer device on the sound card, some of which may not be offered in EmulationStation options.
Do you get audio in emulators or using the ALSA
speakter-testutility ? -
Not yet. What I got for now. I'll do a test
pi@retropie:~ $ pi@retropie:~ $ amixer scontrols -D default
Simple mixer control 'Master',0
Simple mixer control 'Capture',0
pi@retropie:~ $ amixer scontrols -D sysdefault
Simple mixer control 'Headphone',0
pi@retropie:~ $ amixer scontrols -D hw
Simple mixer control 'Headphone',0pi@raspberrypi:~ $ amixer scontrols -D audio doesn't work. I must use preset value like default.
audio = my audiocard -

No sound for both
Does dtparam affect it?
# Enable audio (loads snd_bcm2835) dtparam=audio=on -

No. In fact almost all of the video/audio related params you added have the effect as they did before.
No sound for both
Did you remove any ALSA configuration ? What's the out[put of
speaker-test? -

yes
with card = default and device = master (seems to be the good combo.... but no sound )
-
@DTEAM I don't see an error in
speaker-testoutput. Make sure the output isn't muted by any chance. -
How can I see if it's muted or not ? The sound level is always at 100% in the EmulationStation UI or in the alsamixer UI
-
@DTEAM in
alsamixer, the muted state is printed with anMunderneath the volume slider. You can toggle the muted state by pressingm. -
Good news, It finally worked, It was on mute by default (I didn't use my keyboard in Alsamixer).
But now I have a new problem. I played with pulse audio in my "Audio UI" and now my Pi freeze all the time and I have no sound and no video. How can I reactivate Pulse Audio (now enable to create stream) . I already used "Reset to default" but nothing change. I lost options in my UI with my mess.
How can I reset my audio setup

Reset to default I think only applies to the ALSA settings and just removes any RetroPie configuration file. In your case, it's not going to do anything, since RetroPie didn't configure your USB gamepad.
I lost options in my UI with my mess.
No idea, try to remove the packages you've installed and reboot.

It works again. I re-install PipeWire and AudioPulse from rasPi config and everything works great. thanks for your support
