@mitu Weird, is there someplace to mute the audio inside emulationstation that isn't obvious? The audio tab on the emulator had the mute setting set as "off", the volume setting kept defaulting to zero and it reset to that value and wouldn't allow me to save a value. Obviously, I still have a ton to learn!

@mitu This is the exact slider i bought https://www.ebay.com/itm/1K-Ohm-Slide-Potentiometer-Pot-18mm-Pack-of-2/382238703800?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649

It needs to be small to fit in the case!

@michael40475 said in Audio not working? How to fix problem??:

can I please get very detailed advice on how to fix this issue? Thanks so much in advance.

Not unless you provide very detailed descriptions of your entire setup. That only makes sense, right?

I had the same problems using a USB sound card.

It worked everywhere except in advmame

I fixed this on two different retropi images using this process:

edit the advmame.rc

delete these lines:

device_alsa_device default
device_alsa_mixer channel
device_sound alsa

After that it magically started working :)

These docs may be relevant:

Super Metroid (especially noticeable at title screen) I still notice this as well. Trying to figure it out. It also happens on my FPGA SNES so it might be an HDMI issue.

I was unable to fix the volume for the roms. I increase all the audio level from the retopie menu and increase the default audio mixer levels. but now all the N64 games are way too loud.

thanks, setting sound to 3.5mm jack and restarting worked

@buzz Thank you for your attention! :)

@kmetz7547 inside emulationstation, when you press start in the menu there are sound settings. Try adjusting it in there.

Ok, I tried turning off dithering, and it didn't seem to make any difference.

I'm still getting artifacts, like echo-type sounds, sounds that go on longer than they should etc.

I have listened carefully to games that I am very familiar with on other systems, and this definitely only seems to affect Hatari.

@ohmycommodore
It hasn't stopped it, but I think it's less noticeable.

I'm unix ingenior so, not really a probleme (I working on AIX, unix ibm)
But, no need to be unix ingénior to re-compiling, modify some files ;)
Just, like to understand how programme(s)/system(s) working and, have a lot of free time.

@Zigurana Thanks for the note. I have pages that are quite similar!
I have done the index and the reordering. It works for the most part. However, notice how your volume command /usr/bin/amixer sset PCM,0 2dB- references PCM? That will fail on my USB because it is looking for HEADPHONES as a controller name. Sure, I can simply adjust my volume commands, but it is the embedded calls to PCM that would generate errors and for some emulators, I would get no audio. Perhaps I need to find another USB Sound card. The problem is that "amixer controller name" is not usually in the documentation!

@Floob @NinjaX567 after one of the new updates i no longer get audio in dreamcast either. Its only in dreamcast. I havent tried composite audio to see if it works on it.
