@firebomber13 said in No sound in menu recalbox 9.0 rbp3b:

I am using version 9.0 recalbox on a rasb pi 3b

my problem is that when starting recalbox the audio is not heard in the menu, however it sounds perfectly in the intro when it is turned on and when running games these are also heard, the problem is only in the menu, it is not that serious but if it is uncomfortable

hello everyone, I found a solution to have no sound or slow music in the Recalbox menu.

what I did was once I had the micro sd with recalbox, put it in the raspberry so that it can make the corresponding configurations. After it finishes configuring, turn off and connect the micro sd card to the pc, look in the RECALBOX partition for the recalbox-user-config.txt file, once opened, leave the following lines as you are:

#uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (this will force VGA)
hdmi_group=1
hdmi_mode=4

then save the changes and with that it should solve the problem.

Hi @Scavy,

I experience the same problem with RPI3 too.
As I remember the sound worked on the version 6.0, unfortunately I couldn't update sooner.

@davidb2111 Thanks for the info. I will update you and let you know that I turned my box on today and everything was working as intended. Aside from the show latest version only option. I don’t know it there was some funky cache or something that cleared out but I didn’t change anything. Sorry to raise the alarm but I do appreciate your help. Thank you again.

Hi,
I also have the same problem
I have a raspberry pi3b + in a retroflag snespi case.

Mine is a fresh install on a new sd card.
I have no sound within recalbox in the menu or games but the boot video when I first switch it on does have sound which is strange.

I have checked sound settings and everything is set how it should be.

Thank you
Rob

@dam_j I can only imagine that the problem then is a driver incompatibility with your video card, and it's not something a user can solve on their own.

Some options:

Open an issue in gitlab (check if there is not already a similar issue open), and wait for a response from one of the developers
https://gitlab.com/recalbox/recalbox/-/issues Go to our official Discord channel and see if anyone has any other ideas (there's a chance a developer will answer you)

@johnn

buy a new version ?

Recalbox is an Open Source operating system, that means it's free.

The license to use Recalbox prevents its commercialization/purchase/sale/distribution already assembled.

If you suggested this, it indicates that you purchased the system, which is illegal, and we do not support illegal versions.

recalbox 6.1.1- dragon blaze

As already answered, we also do not support outdated versions.

what would u do ?

Download and install the latest official version if you want support here:

Maybe this helps:

As this is an illegal and outdated version, I will block this topic as it is against the forum rules.

I’ve experienced the “missing HDMI” option when my TV is turned off (or perhaps on the wrong input??) while the Recalbox is booting. Not sure on the exact timing but it’s definitely fixable 100% of the time if the TV is turned on first.

I didn’t used to have this issue before 8.x series Recalbox so not sure what may have changed in I guess the RPi firmware or perhaps the Linux kernel side. I suspect the hdmi_forceplug or one of those boot options will fix the issue but I no longer use HDMI so can’t test.

Heck, you could even use a boot option to lock-in HDMI as the only audio choice if you don’t care about easy access to the audio jack functionality!

Sorry, it's 'line out'.
only dolphin get this sound problem. Others Emulateurs work well.
I didn't try to use Wii Games
