      I have been running my retropie via HDMI connection to TV with no issues. I am now using a monitor with DVI connection and sound via 3.5 jack on the PI. The sound works for about a 1 minute or 2 then stops and will only work agin if I restart system. I have read forum post after forum post. I have change config files etc and every single thing I tried does not fix the issue. Please, please help! I am desperate.

        Here is my config:

        For more options and information see

        http://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/config-txt.md

        Some settings may impact device functionality. See link above for details

        uncomment if you get no picture on HDMI for a default "safe" mode

        #hdmi_safe=1

        hdmi_ignore_edid_audio=1

        uncomment this if your display has a black border of unused pixels visible

        and your display can output without overscan

        disable_overscan=0

        uncomment the following to adjust overscan. Use positive numbers if console

        goes off screen, and negative if there is too much border

        #overscan_left=16
        #overscan_right=16
        #overscan_top=16
        #overscan_bottom=16

        uncomment to force a console size. By default it will be display's size minus

        overscan.

        #framebuffer_width=1280
        #framebuffer_height=720

        uncomment if hdmi display is not detected and composite is being output

        hdmi_force_hotplug=1

        uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (this will force VGA)

        hdmi_group=2
        hdmi_mode=57

        uncomment to force a HDMI mode rather than DVI. This can make audio work in

        DMT (computer monitor) modes

        #hdmi_drive=2

        uncomment to increase signal to HDMI, if you have interference, blanking, or

        no display

        #config_hdmi_boost=4

        uncomment for composite PAL

        #sdtv_mode=2

        #uncomment to overclock the arm. 700 MHz is the default.
        #arm_freq=800

        Uncomment some or all of these to enable the optional hardware interfaces

        #dtparam=i2c_arm=on
        #dtparam=i2s=on
        #dtparam=spi=on

        Uncomment this to enable the lirc-rpi module

        #dtoverlay=lirc-rpi

        Additional overlays and parameters are documented /boot/overlays/README

        Enable audio (loads snd_bcm2835)

        dtparam=audio=on

        gpu_mem_256=128
        gpu_mem_512=256
        gpu_mem_1024=256
        #overscan_scale=1

          Hi

          Have you tried setting the audio to the 3.5mm jack in the RetroPie Audio settings?

          Cheers

          Paul
