      After an upgrade of a retropie + AM img, I've lost HDMI audio output.

      I've tried to find a solution for it, but almost 90% of times people suggest to fix this editing the config.txt file, but mine is correct.

      I have sound on the analog output but when I switch to HDMI there's no way to make it work.

      Any suggestion?

      BTW: this is my config.txt

      #For more options and information see
      #http://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/config-txt.md
      #Some settings may impact device functionality. See link above for details

      disable_splash=1

      #uncomment if you get no picture on HDMI for a default "safe" mode
      #hdmi_safe=1

      #uncomment this if your display has a black border of unused pixels visible
      #and your display can output without overscan
      #disable_overscan=1

      #uncomment the following to adjust overscan. Use positive numbers if console
      #goes off screen, and negative if there is too much border
      #overscan_left=16
      #overscan_right=16
      #overscan_top=16
      #overscan_bottom=16

      #uncomment to force a console size. By default it will be display's size minus
      #overscan.
      #framebuffer_width=1280
      #framebuffer_height=720

      #uncomment if hdmi display is not detected and composite is being output
      #hdmi_force_hotplug=1

      #uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (this will force VGA)
      #hdmi_group=1
      #hdmi_mode=1

      #uncomment to force a HDMI mode rather than DVI. This can make audio work in
      #DMT (computer monitor) modes
      hdmi_drive=2
      #hdmi_force_hotplug=1
      hdmi_group=2
      hdmi_mode=16
      #hdmi_force_edid_audio=1

      #uncomment to increase signal to HDMI, if you have interference, blanking, or
      #no display
      #config_hdmi_boost=7

      #uncomment for composite PAL
      #sdtv_mode=2

      #uncomment to overclock the arm. 700 MHz is the default.
      #arm_freq=800

      #Uncomment some or all of these to enable the optional hardware interfaces
      #dtparam=i2c_arm=on
      #dtparam=i2s=on
      dtparam=spi=on

      #Uncomment this to enable the lirc-rpi module
      #dtoverlay=lirc-rpi

      #Additional overlays and parameters are documented /boot/overlays/README

      #Enable audio (loads snd_bcm2835)
      dtparam=audio=on
      gpu_mem_256=128
      gpu_mem_512=256
      gpu_mem_1024=256
      overscan_scale=1
      #audio_pwm_mode=2

        I had this problem last weekend after updating everything to the last version. It seems in some emulators de audio driver was changed to alsathread. I changed it back to sdl2 and the audio was back on the emulators. I did have sound in Emulationstation but aftering entering an emulator it was gone.

        Access retroarch configuratie with select+x and check the drivers in settings.

        Hope it helps.
