Avermedia LGP problem, video ok but no sound

mahcneto

I'm connecting my Pi3 with the Live Game portbale to capture some gameplay but I have that problem, everything looks ok but no sound at all. Any clue about what might be happening?

You haven't given much info to work with, but if you're connected to this capture device via HDMI, you might try forcing HDMI sound in the /boot/config.txt with hdmi_drive=2.

I tried enabling this option in the boot/config.txt but still doesn't work. Video is fine like I said, though

The hdmi_drive=2 is actually an audio setting. Without knowing more about your setup, it was the best guess I had. You can find out more about what information we need to better help you here. Also, be sure to explain more about the "Live Game" device and how you're specifically using it.

Sure. The Avermedia live game portable is a pc-free capture device, which also allows to use it on a PC with a stream software. It works just like this, but imagine the XBOX360 here is the Pi3:

. I use an USB in from my TV to power up the capture device, though.

You might try testing with a different HDMI cable.

When you plug the Raspberry Pi directly into the TV does it have sound?

You can open up the audio mixer by typing alsamixer from the command line and make sure the volumes are up.

Do you have a 3.5mm cable you can test with? Plug that from the Pi's headphone out into the Input port on the Avermedia LGP and see if you have audio? If not type in this from the command line when you SSH into your Raspberry Pi amixer cset numid=3 1 and then test the audio again.

You can force it to HDMI audio out by typing amixer cset numid=3 2 from the command line.

Another solution is updating the firmware for your Avermedia LGP and trying again.
