Default Audio card not present or turned on
-
@Coffeekin12 said in Default Audio card not present or turned on:
@mitu currently installed retro pi version is 4.8
Is this a 3rd party image ? We don't offer support for those here in the forums.
-
@mitu No, its the latet Download of Retropie I know i spell it 7 different ways in one sentence but its the latest install Version 4.8
-
I suggest you start with a fresh image, then modify the
config.txtand add the lines with theaudremapoverlay. Try to see if you get any audio cards listed when runningaplay -land - if you do - check whether the audio output is working. -
@mitu Tried both of those none of them worked, i found a version of Retropie 4.5 and that worked fine however it was a premade image with built in controls i cant seem to remove so i think im just gonna have to find someone with a fresh install of 4.5 i dont know what it was but these newer Retopie installs do not like the pi zeros with one of my first issues being on 4.6 they deprecated FBCP which prevents TFTs from being used especially on zero 2 Ws
-
I think the issue is that the instructions you have for the Gameboy Zero are not working with recent version of RetroPie/Raspbian, it's not that the PI zero is not supported by RetroPie. Nethertheless, without someone that understand and has experience with both (Raspbian and the Gameboy zero) you'll be stuck with an older (but functioning) version.

@mitu well in the other images sound just worked and the audio section of the retro pie menu as well as Aplay both pick up the PCM as the audio card but in the new image even with the same config file setup it just dosnt show up in any audio related menu
-
@Coffeekin12 Yes, I understand that and this is what I was saying also - the configuration(s) that worked for older version of Raspbian don't work with more recent version of Raspbian (even though the current RetroPie image is still based on an older Raspbian version).
-
@mitu I understand, thank you for your help anyway im sure if i kept trying it could work, however other people i ask point to old tutorials or just say to wire a cheap USB Sound card so for now i think i will stick with the older version, unless there is somthing about the config file im not understanding (Which im sure there is alot)

You can try asking in the Raspberry Pi forums, they have users that are more knowledgeable with this kind of modifications (audio via GPIO) and they may be able to assist you with making this work with recent RasiOS version.
They'll probably ask you to use a recent RaspiOS Lite version, for which RetroPie has only beta support, but if you describe your hardware I'm sure someone may be able to assist you there. -
@mitu I will try that, Thank you
