Hello all! First time poster… still wrapping my head around this powerful yet intimidating program.
My computer is set up to output sound through two devices – my computer speakers, and a television via HDMI. I switch the output manually by selecting a new default device in the sound control panel. As I understand it, Retroarch is configured to automatically output sound to whatever device is selected as the default. This works just fine for my computer speakers. However, when I switch the TV/HDMI output to default, I don’t get any audio from Retroarch. I can confirm the device is working, since all other programs output sound just fine. I’ve tried all the different audio drivers (xaudio, dsound, sdl2), but none seem to function over HDMI.
In a strange wrinkle, I tried launching games through retroarch_debug.exe. The audio outputs through HDMI just fine. I’m baffled as to why this would be. In the meantime, I guess I’ll just run everything through the debug program (is there any downside to this?). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
