Sound not working?

MeltedPineapple

@mitu I’ll try that tomorrow, thanks for the help. But quick question, how do I update emulationstation? Everything else makes sense. Thanks for the help!

Edit:Just looked at the pinned thing. Sorry for not reading it, had seen it every time I’m in the forum and didn’t connect it to my problem.

But quick question, how do I update emulationstation?

See https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Updating-RetroPie/ for how to update RetroPie and it's packages, the page is also linked in the topic. If you're on 4.6.7 and you updated all your packages, then you should have the latest version of EmulationStation, but it's explained in the help topic which version you should have.

@mitu after trying this, the slider works now. However, I don’t have any volume, even if I turn the slider up and it does save, no volume. Sometimes the mixer not found errors occurs, but even if it doesn’t there still isn’t any sound. Any ideas?

@MeltedPineapple Post your Audio settings in EmulationStation and some details about your setup.

@mitu ok, my audio settings are as follows

Audio card: Default
Audio Device: HDMI
Enable Navigation Sounds: ON
Enable Video Player: ON
OMX Audio Device: ALSA

All I have in my setup is an HDMI monitor that is plugged into my pie via a dongle that turns it into mini HDMI.
I have a USB C plug that powers the pie.
I use a keyboard and knockoff PDP wired switch controller in the USB 2 spots.
All of the sound was working great until I updated. Is there a command I can use to bring it back to the version before this update perhaps.
I would prefer just to fix the problem though.
Thanks!

@MeltedPineapple Settings look ok for audio - did you also set-up the audio output to HDMI from the RetroPie Audio menu ?

MeltedPineapple

@mitu No, I did not . Can you explain how to do that? Thanks for holding my hand through this.

@MeltedPineapple It's one of the steps included in the pinned topic.

@mitu, I did the audio change in Retropie and the error went away. But, still no sound. Any ideas?

@MeltedPineapple is the sound not working in EmulationStation only or the games also are without sound ?
