Raspberry Pi 2 model B 1 GB hdmi sound problem

e14 Contributor over 11 years ago

Got two of them and same problem on both with several hdmi tv(s). Older Pi worked fine on both tv(s). Headphone jack works fine. Used Python Games to switch as well as sudo raspi-com-fig.

OK
I finally got it to work on the small HDTV.
--I tried the below steps again and it worked finally.

---------But Why did the big tv work but not the small tv?

R-Pi configuration file - eLinux.org

How to edit from the Raspberry Pi
This method is most useful if you can see the display of the Raspberry Pi and you wish to make minor adjustments.
Reboot the Raspberry Pi and enter your username and password.
To edit the configuration file, enter the command
sudo nano /boot/config.txt
Type in the necessary configuration parameters
setting hdmi_drive=2
Uncomment out
Save the edited file
Press Control-x Press y Press [enter]
After exiting the editor, restart using the command
sudo reboot

Here is the config file I edited.
# Uncomment to force an HDMI mode rather than DVI. This can make audio work in
# DMT (computer monitor) modes.
#hdmi_drive=2

Before saving, I went to the blank line below hdmi_drive=2
This may be the key
Do not save on the edited line

I hope this helps for you.

Is the larger TV HDMI 1.4 while the smaller is HDMI 1.3? That would explain a lot.

You may want to try this with the larger tv: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=24679
They explain mode support changes that may account for the problem.
