RPi3 no Headphones option for sound output

[MaLaCoiD]

I just installed Lakka 4.3 on a SD for use in RPi3. I had sound coming from my TV, but when I move to HDMI monitor and minijack, I get no sound.

I found a similar thread, but my aplay output doesn’t include Headphones:

No Audio 3.5 MM Jack

I managed to install Lakka 4.2 on an Sd card for my RP3B+. After install I have to add “display_auto_detect=1” into the config.txt file so the display comes up on the 7inch Pi screen that’s connected via the dedicated Pi ribbon cable. So that works great and got some games played for trial but I had no audio, so I went to figure out how to get the audio to work, my main reference was this YT vid: Enable 3.5mm Audio in Retroarch / Lakka. Analogue sound Raspberry Pi 4. - YouTube So I ran. nano…

Lakka:~ # aplay -L
null
    Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture)
default
    Default Audio Device
sysdefault
    Default Audio Device
default:CARD=vc4hdmi
    vc4-hdmi, MAI PCM i2s-hifi-0
    Default Audio Device
sysdefault:CARD=vc4hdmi
    vc4-hdmi, MAI PCM i2s-hifi-0
    Default Audio Device
hdmi:CARD=vc4hdmi,DEV=0
    vc4-hdmi, MAI PCM i2s-hifi-0
    HDMI Audio Output

How can I get the system to detect Headphones as a choice?

I’ve tried putting “amixer cset numid=3 1” in /storage/.config/autostart.sh but it didn’t change aplay output after reboot.

I’ve tried putting "hdmi_ignore_edid_audio=1” in /boot/config.txt … I’m not exactly sure whre config.txt should go. It didn’t work in /storage/ either. aplay output is the same.

I changed software to RetroPie 5.10.103-v7+

Then just added this to /boot/config.txt hdmi_ignore_edid_audio=1

Now sound is working on my Pi. Hope this helps someone.

Thank you for the feedback.

We have some documentation about RPi and how to edit bootloader configuration, if needed.
