I had the same problem. The navigation sound work but with delay, i press bottom and the sound play 2 seconds later. The video screen saver is not heard. The volume control although it changes it stays at zero. But the sound in the games is good. I have tried all the options of "Audio Card" "Audio Device", but the only one I hear something is heard with a lot of lag. This happened to me after I had updated the Emulation Station. Before updating it worked fine. Is there any way to fix it?

@swimdad84 it looks like it. You can also plug your phone into that dongle too to test it I suppose or just plug the pi into it.

@ucald4amarine one thing to add. All the sounds on the screensaver worked fine up to I told the arcade to do a random splash screen on startup.

Right I've solved the problem and now have everything working correctly. Many thanks for everybody's help with this. I thought it might be useful for future reference to close with a summary of the issue and how it was resolved. Problem Summary 3.5mm audio output on Rasperry Pi causing hiss and interference from RetroPie sound output. System info Rasperry Pi Model: Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ Distro: Rasperian 9 (Stretch) RetroPie Version: 4.3 Solution Disabling the on board 3.5mm audio jack and using a USB sound card (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07MNRRT84/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) to connect the amplifier and speakers. USB sound card installation steps Disable the on board 3.5mm audio jack in /boot/config.txt: Change the line: dtparam=audio=on to: dtparam=audio=off Under Sound Settings within Emulation Station select: Audio Device: Speaker OMX Player Audio Device: Local Note, you may also wish to turn up the system volume however this is down to personal preference. Optional step to enable sound in Splash screen videos Update the script: /opt/retropie/supplementary/splashscreen/asplashscreen.sh change the line: omxplayer -o <option> -b --layer 10000 "$line" to read: omxplayer -o alsa -b --layer 10000 "$line"

Thanks for helping out mate, appreciated! Will have a go with this in a few days and let you know. Cheers.

@Ashrill just be aware save states will not function when using omx as the audio plugin. Also the default volume is insanely loud and can't be adjusted as far as I know.

@mitu Thanks! Hopefully maybe one day they implement something

Hi evryone and thanks for all the hard work, I had the audio bug too (sound was really garbled) until I (apt) install libsdl2-ttf-dev and modify my RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/emulators/amiberry.sh to go with SDL2 and update from source.

Solved: The reason was because somehow "Warp Mode" under Speed settings got activated. After disabling it, the sound came back.

Try adding the following parameters in the /boot/config.txt file disable_audio_dither=1 audio_pwm_mode=2 then reboot and see if it makes a difference.

Ok I've tested jslisten but only accept 4 button pressed at once and seems no button sequence working...

please ignore/delete this thread (sorry) it seems I've worked it all out using SGM-V2.01.sf2 and i'm cool with that. Apologies for wasting anyones time.

@grant2258 Yes, I just wanted to report that after some testing yesterday. You were faster than me. ;) I can confirm that most of my samples work in mame2003 binary and mame2003-plus, but not in mame2003 from source; with few exceptions like Blockade that works in all of them. Since there already is a pull request for this, I consider this topic as solved. Thanks for the help! (edit: as well as @markwkidd for the fix and @Headrush69 for testing.)

@logan71f100 Thanks for sharing the workaround.
