Audio won't work (again) over hdmi

Libretro Lakka
#1

Hi together, I’ve installed lakka on a lenovo s430 notebook and I am trying to play the sound over the minihdmi port. The minihdmi output is connect with a minihdmi to hdmi cable to my tv. At the moment, the sound is always coming out on the laptop speakers itself I’ve tried the following things:

  • Listing audio devices with “aplay -L”, stop retroarch with “systemctl stop retroarch”, edited the configfile in “/storage/.config/retroarch/retroarch.cfg” (inserted my audiodevices (either “hdmi:CARD=PCH,DEV0” or “hdmi:CARD=PCH,DEV1”) and restarted retroarch with “systemctl start retroarch” => Source: http://www.lakka.tv/doc/Audio-settings/#switching-audio-device-manually
  • Did the same thing for both hdmi output devices with the following guide: Lakka tv hdmi audio fix

My logfile (according to https://www.lakka.tv/doc/Troubleshooting-Lakka/)

Logfile: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ikIV21rrbMiKe1gLIke3FA23augZyH7c/view?usp=sharing => I’ve started a rom, but the sound from the game came also on the pc, like the sound of the retroarch interface

Hello!

I have the same problem: i can’t get the sound to work on my ACER Aspire R3 N15WS. (But want to run the built-in speakers, not the HDMI!)

I don’t know what else to try… This is what I have done:

(1) aplay -L (The following devices appears too under “Setting > Audio > Output > Device”)

Lakka:~ # aplay -L
null
    Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture)
default:CARD=PCH
    HDA Intel PCH, ALC255 Analog
    Default Audio Device
sysdefault:CARD=PCH
    HDA Intel PCH, ALC255 Analog
    Default Audio Device
front:CARD=PCH,DEV=0
    HDA Intel PCH, ALC255 Analog
    Front speakers
surround21:CARD=PCH,DEV=0
    HDA Intel PCH, ALC255 Analog
    2.1 Surround output to Front and Subwoofer speakers
surround40:CARD=PCH,DEV=0
    HDA Intel PCH, ALC255 Analog
    4.0 Surround output to Front and Rear speakers
surround41:CARD=PCH,DEV=0
    HDA Intel PCH, ALC255 Analog
    4.1 Surround output to Front, Rear and Subwoofer speakers
surround50:CARD=PCH,DEV=0
    HDA Intel PCH, ALC255 Analog
    5.0 Surround output to Front, Center and Rear speakers
surround51:CARD=PCH,DEV=0
    HDA Intel PCH, ALC255 Analog
    5.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Rear and Subwoofer speakers
surround71:CARD=PCH,DEV=0
    HDA Intel PCH, ALC255 Analog
    7.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Side, Rear and Woofer speakers
hdmi:CARD=PCH,DEV=0
    HDA Intel PCH, HDMI 0
    HDMI Audio Output

I tried all the settings, for example:

audio_device="default:CARD=PCH"

or

audio_device="front:CARD=PCH,DEV=0"

No one works!

(2) Available drivers are:

alsa / alsathread / tinyalsa / oss

No one works!

(3) here my log:

That “ALSA lib” & “MIDI-Error” Messages appears with any configuration.

Any ideas how can I fix the problem?

Thanks!!!
