Update to 7.2 --> no sound

[Ry0san01]

Pour information les problèmes de son semblent survenir suite à la montée de version sur rpi 4 (même peut être aussi sur d’autres support ??) de 7.1.1 vers 7.2 si vous avez un support externe en plus de la sd card. Je viens de faire un reset usine sur la sd card et tout est ok : son et touche psx du core rearmed. Je suis en train de recréer ma clé usb à partir de la sd card suite à reset usine. Après quelques tests tout semble ok now.

@neo207 I changed it in the retroarch menu in a game. In "video". And then I saved core settings.

I have no sound after update. In recalbox menu a i have sound, but in game no sound. I use hdmi output, someone with same problem?. Some workaround for fix it?

Thanks.

Hello, I also updated. Splash screen and roms with no sound. Recalbox menu with sound. I use 3.5 jack / sound and HDMI for the monitor. Now I have completely replayed everything. Splash doesn't work but Recalbox Menu and Rom :-). I strongly suspect that there is a bug here. Entries in Alsmixer are also not saved after a restart.

@Salva_Davila OK THANK YOU FOR THE LINK, I used PUTTY in order to access my recalbox via ssh (i had to learn that, i hadn't done this before).

I restarted...
Spash Screen ---> has sound again
Kodi ---> no black screen, videos are working!!!
mame/neogeo games ---> sound is back!!! (what the heck was that?!?! it works!!!)

but meh... all mame games have the neo geo bezel now AND the games are not in the center of the screen but somehow bigger and moved to right-down.

IS There anyone who could help with this weird glitch which I got by fixing everything else with the help of Salva-Davila ?

I have to laugh right now, because I seem to be so close to the solution but still, something else is broken

@neo207 Have you tried the factory reset that was suggested?
The reset will keep all your personal data, but it will reset all settings.

About kodi, this topic is in English and talks about the temporary solution:

I had no in-game sounds but after restoring ES to Factory settings I can confirm the sound is back. Still don't know how to mix in-game sounds with custom music I put for ES main menu.

I have a solution

be sure that you recalbox is connected to internet (wifi).
Run a command dos

type :

ssh recalbox -l root

(-l set the login)

When SSH ask you to enter password type

recalboxroot

Now you can set the audio.

Type F6 to select sound output.

Choose heaphone (or your output)

Now you see the volum bar of you headphone output.

Put it to 100% to solve your problem

@Vacrial i forgot to say that after you enter the password and loggued in, run the tool :

alsamixer

and then you can set the audio.

thank you but i eventually solved it by reseting everything and updating to 7.2.1 but now there is another bug -->
RETURNING FROM KODI TO RECALBOX MAKES THE MUSIC VERY LOUD. You solve this by lowering the volume, in my case from 50% to 49% and back to 50% again.
I hope there is a fix soon because i switch between kodi and recalbox quite often.

@neo207 Think about it. I have lost the language settings, wifi, gpio, shaders, etc, and in my case, the sound still does not work. Neither changing the driver to pulse as they say in another post.

Edit: Ok, after a reboot the sound does work when choosing "pulse" in the retroarch audio menu (tab or HK + B).

this works for me. thank you
