Title: Raspberry Pi Sound issue only when playing Vertical Games
Post by: hypergaming on May 22, 2016, 01:00:15 pm

Hi everyone,

I recently put together this Raspberry Pi 2 Player control panel, but I'm having some audio issues. Horizontal games play perfect, but there is a sound issue only with vertical games such as Donkey Kong, Moon Cresta, etc. I tried a bunch of them already, and they all have the same sound issue.

Has anyone ever experience audio issues only when playing Vertical Games?

here is a video link, listen carefully to the noise that comes out, and like I said, is on all the vertical games, not just Donkey Kong, so its not a rom issue.

I'm using a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B - Emulation station / Retropie ( not sure which version but is not the latest one )

I appreciate your help!

I had audio troubles on my pi setup too. I didnt notice any difference between games though.
I read somewhere that if you buy one of those hdmi to vga converters with audio out, you can use the audio out of it, which is supposed to be a lot better.
Of course you will have to attach that to a vga monitor so Im not sure that would work for you.
You could also try a cheap usb soundcard.
