@confusedgorgon yeah, I empathize... It's unfortunately a more common affliction than ideal. Glad it's sorted.

@buzz Thank you for your attention! :)

Okay, I'll go through and check all my wiring and soldering. Hopefully it's just that. I've tried with 2 different speakers now, so I don't think it's that. I'll try different wires maybe. I've posted on the SudoMod forum too, so I'll hopefully get a response there too.
Yeah, It's pretty fun, and frustrating XD I've never done much with hardware before so it's a challenge! Once It's all done I'll probably make a post about it, and I'll link it here :)

@Freakadude do what @Syntaxerror999 said to do for hdmi audio. For audio through the jack you need to go into the retropie menu on the emulationstation menu and go into audio and switch from hdmi to 3.5mm jack

@AlexMurphy I dont understand what you mean. The number of it is called 6CL-00001. I dont know if that is the "Model" you are referring to but I am not familiar with what the models are called aside from this. There is also a number 1708 on the box. Perhaps that is the model?
If you Google 6CL-00001, it brings up the results for the exact controller model which I have. Can you tell me another way to find out the "Model" that you are referring to and I will gladly get that info for you. Thanks.

I had this problem last weekend after updating everything to the last version. It seems in some emulators de audio driver was changed to alsathread. I changed it back to sdl2 and the audio was back on the emulators. I did have sound in Emulationstation but aftering entering an emulator it was gone.

Access retroarch configuratie with select+x and check the drivers in settings.

Hope it helps.

I think this simple HDMI audio switch should really be somewhat front and centre with the audio config tool right now.

Some of us have been spoilt with how slick the jeos solutions are for kodi I think where everything just works (e.g. Openelec, Libreelec). Retropie is a great project, but it's got a way to go to bring all the config into the main gui, etc.. But this thing has been asked enough times that it should be sorted out properly.
It's the #1 first stop here even https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/sound-issues

@maxpowerphd

Well, I'm not certain what your options are on the Pi for manipulating the audio output so that the soundbar doesn't skip. Does the soundbar have an option for different sound modes you could try? Maybe the choppiness is due to some post processing of the signal at the bar?

@Stillers and I can't edit the config file any longer. Says Bash: 4: command not found . The games work...do i need to reinstall everything from scratch?

@Rascas kodi no limits is a pirate version of kodi. the OP has no need of our help as his setup violates the forum rules.
