Help - HDMI Audio fix makes screen go bigger

fo0t

Hi All, new to the pi and linux. building my own arcade cabinet my my pi.
i have managed to get everything working cruising old forum posts and tutorials, however ive hit a snag.

I have absolutley no audio when running games.
The one audio fix i know that works to restore audio also buggers my display size over HDMI
i edit the config.txt file and do the hdmi_drive_2 thing. but once i reboot my screen resizes (grows) making editing txt files next to impossible for a newb like myself.

Does anybody know of a fix i can try to make my screen stay at its current size and have audio?

Thanks!

did you try:

sudo raspi-config

option 8 - advanced options

option A6 - audio

option 2 - Force HDMI

Thanks!

your fix does not exist. sorry bud.
Option 8 = advanced options.
optiona a6 = update.
no audio.

still back at square one again.

fixed... using
sudo amixer cset numid=3 1
and a set of computer speakers instead

ah, sorry I forgot, you have to update the rasperry pi configuration tool before that option shows up. So you would have to choose the update option, then rerun the tool and audio would be there. But I'm glad that you found an alternative!
