Sound problem with Raspberry Pi
by joboy from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5DM92)
Hi there,
I am having problem with the Pi 4B 8G, I post my questions in the Pi forum but get no reply in couple months that's disappointing, so I try my luck here.
My Pi worked fine and sound no problem when I first got it, then I played around with different OS and updating stuffs, one day the Pi suddenly gives no sound, to be precise it gives very low volume on the on board audio jack, if I boost the volume to 150% on the sound panel then it gives some low volume distorted output. I then try the HDMI audio via VGA adapter and it worked and gives normal volume, it seems my Pi has h/w problem with the on board audio but I can't be sure.
Although I can get sound from HDMI there is still random problem that it muted, I've to play around with the settings, sometimes it works with the 'Stereo' audio sometimes with the 'Multi Channel', and today it decided to work with the 'Mono' the thing got the mind of it's own ! so that I have to add a HDMI to VGA adapter to get the audio from there, plus the 2nd HDMI to monitor to get the best display, I believe something messed up in the update, I tried many available OS for it as well as the stock updated RaspianOS they all messed up, any comment ?
