No Sound - Raspberry Pi Zero W....

Dorbs84

Hi

I'm running retropie on raspberry pi zero w, but using a mini-Hdmi into a normal HDMI connector, which is then hooked up to an HDMI to VGA connector.

From here i'm running a line-out cable from the line-out to some portable speakers, but I can't get any sound at all. I've tried all the suggestions in my config.txt (force HDMI etc) but none of it seems to work.

Also, in the RetroPie config screen, when setting the audio do I choose HDMI or 3.5 jack? Might be a silly question but i'm not sure since it's coming originally from HDMI.

@Dorbs84 you use the audio in the vga adapter. You need to open up /boot/config.txt and remove the hashtag from this line:

#hdmi_drive=2

So it looks like this:

hdmi_drive=2
