HDMI Sound Not Working

bearsfan654

I've been trying to play Super Mario World on my Raspberry Pi. It plays wells, however I have noted that the sound running through HDMI is not working. I did try setting the hdmi_drive setting to 2, however that did not work. Anything else I could do?

Nevermind. I have it working now

Was there a config change you had to do? Please let the board know for users which may hit a similar issue.

I decided to plug the speakers in the headphone jack in the Pi. That enabled it to work. As for playing sound via the TV, I am not sure.

Apparently the Pi' through that my tv was a monitor so i added these to my config file to make sound work through HDMI.

//hdmi_force_edid_audio Pretends all audio formats are supported by display, allowing passthrough of DTS/AC3 even when not reported as supported:
hdmi_force_edid_audio=1

//Normal HDMI Mode (Sound will be sent if supported and enabled)
hdmi_drive=2

and
//Sets the output to "TV" instead of monitor.
hdmi_group=1 CEA

if you want to read more about the config file read this page:

Hope this helps.

I didn't know about force_edid_audio. That's cool. Thanks!
