Thanks for your quick reply.

Here is the details :

RetroPie Version Used : 4.5.1
Built From: Pre made SD Image on RetroPie website
USB Devices connected: nothing
Error messages received: nothing
Log found in /dev/shm/runcommand.log (if relevant): nothing relevant
How to replicate the problem : Go to main menu of Retropie, open a console, then the video preview will appear and the sound will start, back to the menue of retropie. Do that in loop, and you shoud hear some crackling/popping noise.

I have a old version of retropie on another sd card, i’ll try to see if it’s the same.

If it’s working. I’ll maybe try a firmware downgrade to the version just before.

Wrong troubleshooting, it was the same before upgrading RetroPie. (But it’s less hearable in version 3.x)

So it’s not related with the RetroPie upgrade.

If anybody got a solution.

It can also clearly heard when switching quickly the video of screensaver.

I’ve try to modify some audio option in emulation station but it didn’t solved.
