Sound issues over HDMI (works fine using analogue out)
-
@J.Beau you dont need hdmi_drive=1. Switch it back to 2. Then when emulationstation boots, go into the retropie menu and go into audio setting. Switch the audio there. You can swap back and forth that way.
-
@edmaul69 It needs drive=1, because otherwise my tv won't read the audio signal from the analogue in. That port only works when HDMI in in DVI mode.
-
@J.Beau i know it wont recognize normally from analog while hdmi is on without a setting. But the audio configuration lets you enable it without the need to change the config.txt so you can switch back and forth without the need to change the code.
-
@edmaul69 That didn't work for me. That only works when I connect external speakers or headphones. If the signal to the the tv is not in DVI mode, the tv itself does nothing with audio received on other ports. I hope you understand what I mean. English is not my first language. The other question remains. Why does the sound work without a problem over analogue but does it have troubles with some emulators over HDMI?
-
@J.Beau when you were on hdmi audio did you try hdmi_drive=2 before doing 1? Also you could put a hashtag # in front of that line to disable it and try to see if this works on hdmi mode:
hdmi_force_edid_audio=1 -
@J.Beau also just realized something. Did you try setting your tv into game mode? That can cause this too. And a good chance it is the problem.
-
@edmaul69 Yes, tried them both. Was trying everything to get sound working over HDMI for the last 3 days, before I came up with the idea of using an extra cable. Used this page a lot: http://elinux.org/RPiconfig.

Can I change the topic title? It wasn't really a Vectrex issue, but a sound over HDMI issue.
-
@J.Beau did you see my last post about setting your tv's game mode on? Not sure if you tried that or not?
-
@J.Beau yes you can change the title
-
@edmaul69 Yes, tried the game mode. Thanks!
