Garbled audio in some games on analog
  • siezens
    I built a cabinet for pimame using minipac and happ joysticks and a DVI monitor.
    All great but when I use analog audio a lot of games I try have garbled audio that is not present when I connect same Pi to HDMI monitor with sound.
    I followed other FAQs but no improvement

    Have you tried adding a USB sound card? I use the Creative Sound Blaster Play in my custom cabinet and it works a treat.

    I had this initially and believe it's when the Pi is heavily loaded the sound suffers. This also happened when using a separate USB sound card.

    Switching to Mame4all pretty much fixed this.

    One other thing I did was update to the latest firmware as there have been fixes related to the sound. The commands I used were:
    1) sudo apt-get install git-core
    2) sudo wget http://goo.gl/1BOfJ -O /usr/bin/rpi-update && sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/rpi-update

    Then, to update your firmware, just run the following command:

    sudo rpi-update
