C64 Vice playing no sound

g0nz0uk

Hello,

Retropie 4.0.5.

Firstly sound is working on all other emulators apart from the C64 Vice.

I've gone into the menu > sound settings and tried using flexible, adjusting and exact but still nothing. I've also tried changing the output driver from ALSA to dummy and SDL and still nothing.

There are some other settings but I'm not sure what they do.

Is this a known bug, I couldnt find anything on Github?

Thanks

Vice latest build has some issues when you mess with the configs via the GUI

@Pyjamarama ok thanks, do you think I should delete and reinstall from binary?

@g0nz0uk i would delete the config file then re-install

Pyjamarama

I just deleted the configs, booted without them and then I had manually tweaked them to my needs. No uninstall/install

g0nz0uk

@Pyjamarama is this the config file

/opt/retropie/configs/c64/sdl-vicerc

Pyjamarama

@g0nz0uk Exactly

In the sdl-joymap-C64.vjm you can set your controls and map to emulator actions

Interesting I've opened my sdl-vicerc and replaced with yours and the sound is back but it's really bad, why would that be?

This is a Pi3

@g0nz0uk when my sound was crap i found it was not running at full speed. I forget where the option was but it was something i had to change from automatic. I think it was the refresh rate. I switched it to something like 2/5. I forget off hand but there was i believe 5 settings and it was the second one i had to set it to.

Since I have no RetroPie in front of me right now...

Activate the statistics. If the Frames are not 50, you have a problem. Delete configs again, edit them manually and start Vice (without messing with configurations via thw GUI)

Speed always has be to Automatic
