      Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 2GB RAM
      RetroPie version: commit f984e7319171ad63e2032e3ce05c2507718440fd (yesterday?)
      Built from the pre-made image on the retropie website
      Charging: Motorola Moto X4 brick and USB A to C cable
      Controller: Gravis Gamepad Pro
      Monitor: Dell U2415

      I couldn't say whether I had sound before doing an update. Very briefly at one point I could heard the menu sounds but no longer. At another point for a brief moment I could hear music from Tetris Attack while in-game. I originally tried to use headphones by changing Audio Device to Headphones without any luck using the 3.5 mm jack. I'm currently using HDMI for the Audio Device to the monitor which has a 3.5 mm jack which is known to work with other systems such as the Nintendo Switch.

      Current Sound Settings:

      Audio Card: Default
      Audio Device: HDMI
      OMX Player: ALSA

      Audio: (0) HDMI 1 - Odd, output should be HDMI 0 the display output closest to the USB C power port

      I followed the Sound Issues guide: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Sound-Issues/

      $ egrep 'hdmi_drive|hdmi_force.*' /boot/config.txt 
      hdmi_force_hotplug=1
      hdmi_drive=2
      hdmi_force_edid_audio=1 
      
      $ aplay -L
      null
          Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture)
