Can't change sound settings

Hephaestu5

I'm running on a 64-bit PC. I don't get any sound out of batocera, through hdmi or headphones. When I go to sound settings, the sound is set to 0 and the output device has nothing there. When I change the sound to something above 0, and the output device to auto, it tells me I need to restart. Whether I then restart or not, I go back to sound settings and the sound is back to 0 again.

Try this:
Do a fresh new install of batocera.
After first boot, start Kodi.
In Kodi go to System, System settings, Audio, Audio output device and then you should see something like "HDA xxx PCH 'your TV/Monitor name' on HDMI #0 (or 1, 2)"
Choose the appropriate output device and test within kodi, if sound works (just start a youtube video or FilmOn addon).
Then exit kodi and go to ES Menu, Sound Settings and choose the same output device (for example HDMI #1), then exit the Settings and start a game. You should now have sound.
