No sound from Pi after trying usual debugging steps

[dasfreak]

I'm not getting any sound from my Pi after trying a number of debug methods. I tried a different sd card running minibian and did manage to get sound working. Once I transferred those settings to retropie I lost sound again.
I'm not entirely sure where to go next in order to get basic sound working. Because it was working on an alternate install I'm trying here before going to the general raspberry pi forums.

Model: Pi3
Retropie: 3.7
Kernel:Linux 4.4.8-v7+ armv7l GNU/Linux

/boot/config.txt
Note I've used the hdmI_mode and hdmi_group numbers from where I got it working using Raspbian
dtparam=audio=on
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=9
hdmi_drive=2

modules
$ lsmod | grep snd

snd_bcm2835          20511  0
snd_pcm              75698  1 snd_bcm2835
snd_timer            19160  1 snd_pcm
snd                  51844  3 snd_bcm2835,snd_timer,snd_pcm

Troubleshooting steps
Note not using sudo

1. Run /opt/vc/src/hello_pi/hello_audio/hello_audio.bin 1
   No sound
2. Run aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
   No sound
3. Run amixer -c 0 cset numid=3 2
   then sudo aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
   No sound

From some research, looking at the TV properties can help.
$ tvservice -d /tmp/tvservice
$ /opt/vc/bin/edidparser /tmp/tvservice

@dasfreak go to your config.txt and change "hdmi_group=2" to "hdmi_group=1"
Group 1 is CEA
Group 2 is DMT (no sound)
