      Hi,
      I just made a bartop with a vga screen (with hdmi adapter), the screen has no sound so I wired my Trust speakers with 3.5 jack. I have it set at 3.5 input. I have system volume at 100%, pcm.
      I get sound in the retropie menu, I get sound in anything with mame4all (fi bubble bobble )and anything N64 (mario kart, donkey kong,...)
      Everything else has no sound.
      I've tried numerous games in sega systems, nes, snes, psx, gba, gear etc
      Games like battleship lr-genesis-plus-gx
      ![Addams family values lr-snes-9x2010, or 2005
      After burner picodrive on sega 32x
      Pcsx-rearmed motoracer on psx
      Lr-fceumm nes 1942
      I use a usb stick with roms that I previously used on a joypad I made (also a 3B but with hdmi tv screen), not sure if this could cause it.

      I haven't checked or changed anything else and I'm a total beginner.
      I've searched this forum but I didn't find anything alike or understandable.
      I just tried it with a radio with aux in and I have the same problem.

        Fixed by changing the audio driver to sdl2 in retroarch.
