I am trying to turn a recently purchased Tritium H3 Allwinner board into a retro gaming station.
I have used the Raspberry pi installer to load Batocera onto the SD card, but after loading, it emulates fine, but there is no sound anywhere.
I am using the recomended power supply and have connected the board via HDMI to a TV monitor, which functions just fine getting sound from my labtop.
I have tried just about every combo of Audio Profile/Audio OutPut but only the options for Audio Profile which seem to register any response (they show a volume box which quickly disappears) are:
ALLWINNER-HDMIPRO AUDIO
ALLWINNER-HDMISTEREO OUTPUT
after exiting the settings menu after changing to one of these audio profiles, and a random audio output, and returning it sometimes defaults to something like:
ALSA_OUTPUT.PLATFORM-SOUND.PRO-OUTPUT-0
Any tips for debugging this? Its not clear to me what the problem is.
Are you using the latest version of Batocera? I had all sorts of trouble getting v38 to work properly with my Tritium, but I have an H5. I had to use an older version but I forget which one exactly, it was either v32 or v34. I have both of them downloaded but I don’t know which one worked best and I don’t have it set up right now to check. I’m guessing v32, since v34 is the previous version that’s available and I tried that first. There’s also a v33 but I skipped that one for some reason.
I had some issues with video and sound, but I also forget which version did what. I don’t know if this will help since the boards are very similar but not exactly the same, but it’s worth a shot.
i used the latest version from the website, but it seems it was for the H5, specifically, although i am not sure if the difference between the H5 and H3 is great enough for that to matter. I did not see a " Tritium H3" specific batocera version, but i did find an ‘orange pi / allwinner H3’ on this page:
Now, i am trying the install for ‘Capcom Home Arcade’ V.34. After taking the SD card out, formatting it, and install Batocera V34 the device no longer boots. I will continue to trouble shoot later, using different installs. (I am not a clever man nor am i skilled in the ways of SBC science)
