      I have been able to get RetroPie up and running on the GPi Case 2 with the CM 4 Lite board and the Pi 4 RetroPie build from the downloads section but I cannot get any sound. Anyone have any suggestions on how to get the sound working?

      I have the GPi case patched with the new config.txt from RetroFlag. Here are the contents of that config.txt:

      For more options and information see

      http://rpf.io/configtxt

      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

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

      and your display can output without overscan

      #disable_overscan=1

      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=1
      #hdmi_mode=1

      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 infrared communication.

      #dtoverlay=gpio-ir,gpio_pin=17
      #dtoverlay=gpio-ir-tx,gpio_pin=18

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

      Enable audio (loads snd_bcm2835)

      dtparam=audio=off

      display_rotate=0
      dtoverlay=dpi24
      overscan_left=0
      overscan_right=0
      overscan_top=0
      overscan_bottom=0
      framebuffer_width=640
      framebuffer_height=480
      #framebuffer_depth=8
      enable_dpi_lcd=1
      display_default_lcd=1
      dpi_group=2
      dpi_mode=87
      dpi_output_format=0x00016
      hdmi_timings=640 0 41 40 41 480 0 18 9 18 0 0 0 60 0 24000000 1 #80hz
      #hdmi_timings=640 0 20 1 20 480 0 1 1 2 0 0 0 60 0 24000000 1 #59hz

      [pi4]

      Enable DRM VC4 V3D driver on top of the dispmanx display stack

      dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d
      max_framebuffers=2

      [all]
      #dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d
      overscan_scale=1
      dtoverlay=dwc2,dr_mode=host

        SOLVED!

        1. Press F4 on your keyboard to get to the command prompt.
        2. type: sudo nano /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf
        3. change the following two lines from:
          defaults.ctl.card 0
          defaults.pcm.card 0
          to
          defaults.ctl.card 1
          defaults.pcm.card 1
        4. Reboot the system.

          So I was having the same issue with my gpi case 2, what I did was I used the update feature and after a update and reboot it works perfectly.
