Audio issues after latest Raspbian updates (June 2020)
-
@UberLumby No, the info in this topic applies to EmulationStation only.
-
I had to revert to the previous Audio configuration in order to use 3.5mm output. It works now, but splashscreen's audio is distorted. Like metallic sound...
I downgraded firmware but same issue. -
@Yobiwan Don't understand why, the headphone jack works fine in either configurations (upgraded kernel/firmware or not).
-
When I originally installed RetroPie, I had no audio whatsoever and this worked great for fixing both in-game and in the menu. However, I screwed something up somewhere along the line, so I reimaged my SD card and did a clean install. After that, and after going through all of these steps, I have sound in my ROMs, but not in EmulationStation menu itself.
I'm going through HDMI, which has been set in the Audio menu in RetroPie, in raspi-config, and retropie_setup (which has been updated). My EmulationStation core package is updated from source (for whatever reason, it's not giving me a version number). My sound in EmulationStation is set to Default, HDMI, ALSA.

Did you also update the kernel/firmware during the updates ? EmulationStation's version appears when you bring up the menu with
Start
in the main carousel. -

I thought I did, but I'll try it again.

@mitu I made sure to update the kernel and other underlying packages and the issue still persists.

@XEntombmentX This looks ok. Are you able to set the volume in EmulationStation without the errors shown in the starting post ? Do you have sound enabled in EmulationStation ?
-
@mitu Yes, it keeps the volume at the level I've set it to, navigation sounds are on, no errors when launching games.
-
@XEntombmentX I can't think of anything else - I would have said to check if the volume is muted, but if it works in games, then it shouldn't be necessary.
-
@mitu Huh, I changed my theme and back again and it's working fine now. That's strange, but hey, I'm just glad it works :D

@kactius How is your issue related to the topic at hand, which is about EmulationStation ? Open a new topic and add the info from https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@mitu sorry, ok maybe it's more of a system error produced by me or something else than something else. And that I don't understand or can't find the correct way to fix it.

Hi,
I still have problems with HDMI audio on my RPI 4 (4GB Ram). I can't hear menu clicks and in-game audio. I downloaded a pre-made iso that has an audio intro (that I can hear fine) then Emulationstation and Retropie are loaded and I can't hear anything.
I have Emulationstation 2.9.3RP and I updated Retropie and everything else to the latest version as the 21st of October 2020.
I set the "sound settings" as Default - HDMI - ALSA but the volume is stuck at 0%.Could someone help me?
Best regards,
