Audio jack (composite) won't work on EmulationStation but works on Kodi

suzsuzuki

I tried to run raspberry on a CRT TV and there's audio on Kodi, but no audio on EmilationStation and games. I even tried to put audio from jack in menu, restarted and nothing happens.

A EmulationEstation bug? On kodi don't need any config, it's just on the go...

My config:

sdtv_mode=2
hdmi_ignore_hotplug=1
#audio_pwm_mode=2 --- disabled because very noise sound on kodi (only noise on games)
disable_audio_dither=1

uncomment if you don't want the rainbow at startup

disable_splash=1

Overclock

arm_freq=1350
gpu_freq=500
sdram_freq=500
over_voltage=6
v3d_freq=525

gpu_mem_256=128
gpu_mem_512=256
gpu_mem_1024=512

avoid_safe_mode=1

kernel=boot/linux
initramfs boot/initrd.gz

I can confirm I only have audio from jack if I have this line on my config in rpi3.

luizthiago Luiz you need the config above and a RCA plug to connect on your TV, like this one:

Also for Brazilian TV please change the sdtv option to 3:
sdtv_mode=3
