SOLVED No sound from my RPi 3 B.

BillW

Thanks in advance. I’ve been searching the forum and have not found an solution for this. Currently I am running a Raspberry Pi 3 B. I have MM loaded and some modules loaded. I have a HDMI to DVI cable attached going to my monitor. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Bill

@BillW dvi does not carry sound so you would need a separate cable

My main computer has dvi, monitor is HDMI. Uses sep cable to monitor

I should have included in my first post, but I did attach a separate cable for sound to speakers, but that didn’t work so I tried earphones to make sure. Thanks for confirming that for me. Any other suggestions?

@BillW did the earphones work?

@sdetweil do system sounds work?

BillW

@sdetweil No

Sound is going out the HDMI cable

I’ll follow the link and check it out, then I’ll let you know what I did. Thanks for the guidance.

Ok, tried all three but no luck, not sure what to do next. Here’s a copy of my config file if that may help

For more options and information see

http://rpf.io/configtxt

Some settings may impact device functionality. See link above for details

uncomment if you get no picture on HDMI for a default “safe” mode

#hdmi_safe=1

uncomment this if your display has a black border of unused pixels visible

and your display can output without overscan

#disable_overscan=1

uncomment the following to adjust overscan. Use positive numbers if console

goes off screen, and negative if there is too much border

#overscan_left=16
#overscan_right=16
#overscan_top=16
#overscan_bottom=16

uncomment to force a console size. By default it will be display’s size minus

overscan.

#framebuffer_width=1280
#framebuffer_height=720

uncomment if hdmi display is not detected and composite is being output

#hdmi_force_hotplug=1

uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (this will force VGA)

#hdmi_group=1
#hdmi_mode=1

uncomment to force a HDMI mode rather than DVI. This can make audio work in

DMT (computer monitor) modes

#hdmi_drive=2

uncomment to increase signal to HDMI, if you have interference, blanking, or

no display

#config_hdmi_boost=4

uncomment for composite PAL

#sdtv_mode=2

#uncomment to overclock the arm. 700 MHz is the default.
#arm_freq=800

Uncomment some or all of these to enable the optional hardware interfaces

#dtparam=i2c_arm=on
#dtparam=i2s=on
#dtparam=spi=on

Uncomment this to enable the lirc-rpi module

#dtoverlay=lirc-rpi

Additional overlays and parameters are documented /boot/overlays/README

Enable audio (loads snd_bcm2835)

#dtparam=audio=on
[pi0]
dtoverlay=dwc2
[all]
start_x=1
gpu_mem=128
dtoverlay=googlevoicehat-soundcard
display_rotate=1
