      @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?
