RetroPie on Odroid XU4 does not have any audio

[Striderx99]

Hello everyone. I noticed that after you launch a game for any system, it does not produce any sound. I followed the guide for setting RetroPie up on the Odroid XU4 (https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Odroid-XU3-XU4/#samba-shares). I tried using the following commands to turn off pulseaudio:

mkdir ~/.pulse
echo "autospawn=no" >> ~/.pulse/client.conf
pulseaudio -k

The last line yielded the following error: -bash: pulseaudio: command not found.

I also went to RetroPie>RetroArch>Settings>Audio to change the Audio Latency to 192.
No audio can be heard after I launch a game.

If anyone knows how to fix this issue, please let me know.

Thanks.

Does this mean you have sound for the 1st launch, but subsequent launches do not ?

This means that pulseaudio is not installed.

Not sure how latency options would help if there's no audio output at all.

Are there any commands I should use to install pulseaudio on this version of RetroPie? I'll give it a shot and turn it off if it is necessary.

@Striderx99 I don't see the point in installing pulseaudio and then disabling it, but RetroPie will use the audio system you have configured in your system - you can install and configure PulseAudio using the Ubuntu package repositories, just like on any other Linux distro.
