            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

            Sorry for the large font, not well verse with the editing portion of this forum.

              @BillW use the markdown 3 backticks before and after… key to the left of number 1

              you can edit it… pound sign makes large font

              my device doesn’t have an analog audio port

                My knowledge of this is very limited, I don’t understand where you want me to put the markdown at?

                  @BillW edit your previous post.

                  In front of the content you pasted in, on a separate line, put three backtics

                  Then go to the end of the content you pasted, add a new line and put three backtics there. Submit your post update

                        I have sound! Thanks for all the help. What I did, after I read some the links provided, I decided to format another SD card and reload all my programs and I got sound. Then I compared the two SD card files and found that the original card had a file called AIY Project Voice, this program overwrote some of the files and change the parameters for output, apparently my grandson downloaded it thinking he was helping. Now all is good and I’ve learned a lot with every ones help. Thanks again.
