No Audio on Raspberry Pi 5
-
I installed RetroPie on a Raspberry Pi 5 using the basic install option from the script, but I can't get the audio working. In the start menu sound options, I have default set for audio card, and HDMI set for audio device, but the system volume is stuck at 0. If I go into the raspi-config and choose the audio options, it says "no audio system installed". I've also tried going into the Audio options and choosing either HDMI 0, or HDMI 1, and HDMI1 actually seemed to fix the interface audio, but still no audio in game. Then I found some random post that said to go into the configuration editor, and modify the all/retroarch.cfg audio driver setting to choose SDL2, but that didn't fix the in game audio, and it broke the interface audio again. I undid that, but I can't get the interface audio working again.

Support for the Pi5 is still in beta and some things might now work. That being said, a basic install over the RaspiOS Lite image (64 bit) should have functioning sound after you choose the audio output from RetroPie's Audio settings.
Looking at your post, you seem to be using the Desktop installation image - so most likely you have PulseAudio/PipeWire installed as audio managers. Is that the case ?

No, I followed these instructions and installed the 32bit lite version of the OS, so no Pulseaudio/Pipewire. Should I have done the 64 bit version? I actually did that first, but then when I ran the install script for RetroPie, it warned me that it wasn't supported for everything.

I don't think there's a prebuilt image yet. I followed these instructions for a manual install, but I had some issues along the way. I have everything working but the sound.

where can indownload it and what program do i need to make an image of it

@firehead1976 There's no image, as @constantdonkey already told you. Please don't hijack other users' topics, it's rude.
@constantdonkey install the 64bit Lite image and then re-configure the Audio from the RetroPie system. If you still don't get audio in EmulationStation/Emulators, post again in this topic.

Installed the 64bit version and everything worked right out of the box. Thanks mitu!
