Still no sound on my box

Libretro Lakka
#1

Hello,

so today i tested lakka intensive on my zbox id17. Now i am happy with the result. I take some shaders from the retroarch who working very well on my laptop. Result = good screens and no pixelate.

So one last problem now i have. THE SOUND

My Zbox is connected on my surround over S/PDIF…

First i try settings in menue and was going to devices. When i did this, system hang up.

Then i was going over putty to my box and did this:

aplay -l

Results:

null Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture) default:CARD=PCH HDA Intel PCH, ALC892 Analog Default Audio Device sysdefault:CARD=PCH HDA Intel PCH, ALC892 Analog Default Audio Device front:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 HDA Intel PCH, ALC892 Analog Front speakers surround21:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 HDA Intel PCH, ALC892 Analog 2.1 Surround output to Front and Subwoofer speakers surround40:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 HDA Intel PCH, ALC892 Analog 4.0 Surround output to Front and Rear speakers surround41:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 HDA Intel PCH, ALC892 Analog 4.1 Surround output to Front, Rear and Subwoofer speakers surround50:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 HDA Intel PCH, ALC892 Analog 5.0 Surround output to Front, Center and Rear speakers surround51:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 HDA Intel PCH, ALC892 Analog 5.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Rear and Subwoofer speakers surround71:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 HDA Intel PCH, ALC892 Analog 7.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Side, Rear and Woofer speakers iec958:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 HDA Intel PCH, ALC892 Digital IEC958 (S/PDIF) Digital Audio Output hdmi:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 HDA Intel PCH, HDMI 0 HDMI Audio Output hdmi:CARD=PCH,DEV=1 HDA Intel PCH, HDMI 1 HDMI Audio Output

Then i write this “iec958:CARD=PCH,DEV=0” in the retroarch.cfg under audio devices.

NO Sound.

After that, i saw when i played different emulators, that everytime the retroarch.cfg was rewriting hisself.

Is maybe the problem that use “Lakka Live” instad of “Install”?? Or what is the problem?

Thx for helping

Hello, the retroarch.cfg rewrite itself if you forget to stop the retroarch service before editing.

The wiki explains how to stop this service.

If “iec958:CARD=PCH,DEV=0” doesn’t work, try another one like “hdmi:CARD=PCH,DEV=0” or “surround51:CARD=PCH,DEV=0”

You have to try them all.

Hey Kivutar,

so i stoped service like this:

  1. systemctl stop retroarch

  2. nano .config/retroarch/retroarch.cfg

Then i got this in putty: savefile_directory = “~/savefiles” savestate_directory = “~/savestates” system_directory = “~/system” rgui_browser_directory = “~/roms” content_directory = “~/roms” assets_directory = “/usr/share/retroarch” rgui_show_start_screen = “false” video_fullscreen = “true” video_threaded = “true” video_smooth = “false” video_aspect_ratio_auto = “true” video_shader_dir = “/usr/share/common-shaders” video_filter_dir = “/usr/share/video_filters” video_font_path = “/usr/share/retroarch/lakka/monochrome/font.ttf” audio_driver = “alsa” audio_filter_dir = “/usr/share/audio_filters” input_driver = “udev” input_autodetect_enable = “true” joypad_autoconfig_dir = “/etc/retroarch-joypad-autoconfig”

So where and how should i write my audio_device?

Thx

Add a new line like this:

audio_device = “surround51:CARD=PCH,DEV=0”
