try power up the speaker via usb within the pi4 or by some audio converter from hdmi to 3,5 jack audio and have the audio setting of pi4 to hdmi and not 3.5 jack.

@h2805270 said in White Noise on the home menu:

"program ES to add a new option to the menu", I know how to edit the es_systems.cfg to add kodi to the main menu

No, that's not it. When I'm thinking of the 'Emulationstation menu', I'm thinking of the menu shown when you press Start on your controller and that's basically programming. However that not be what you're after - maybe you just need a simple script to start a command an an entry in Emulationstation that you can just press to start that command.

@matchaman
im using HDMI for video and jack for audio, iv' got sound set to "both". im try to change it and we'll see.

edit: i set sound to 3mm jack only and i still hear white noise.

what about alternative sound driver which was available in RP4.3.x ? it could solve the problem ;)
