thraxlol Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Hi guys, So I just updated Retroarch to the latest nightly, and now everything I play (in RA of course) is missing sound! I've been through the GUI and turned it off > saved config > reloaded > turned on > saved confgi > reload etc. I updated using Stellar, and of course didn't backup my config (given that it's vanilla with no customizations anyway) - and also dont' really know how to undo an update Anyone else had this behavior from the latest nightly? and anyone able to give me the bullet points on how to roll back? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I have not touched the latest nightlies at all, I am still using the stable release so all I can tell you is to double check your audio driver in RA and the volume. I don't know of any easy rollback feature or method other than grabbing a fresh 1.5.0 stable build and start fresh with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thraxlol Posted April 18, 2017 Author Share Posted April 18, 2017 Hmmmm, it's very very odd! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Is it a specific core or all cores ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thraxlol Posted April 18, 2017 Author Share Posted April 18, 2017 All cores... could you check your retroarch.cfg for me and see what you have in this line? audio_device = "" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 My audio_device is blank like you posted but my audio_driver is: audio_driver = "xaudio" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thraxlol Posted April 18, 2017 Author Share Posted April 18, 2017 hmm, same as mine.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I suggest grabbing a fresh download of 1.5.0 stable and making a new install to test. You can keep your old install if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetroHumanoid Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 are you using windows? if so,have you checked to see if windows isnt muting the program at startup? alt+tab out of retroarch while its running and check your sound levels from the icon in the taskbarSent from my VS987 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thraxlol Posted April 18, 2017 Author Share Posted April 18, 2017 So, I grabbed the 1.5.0 stable (just the exe and debug exe) and it works again No idea if that's the correct way to do it... but I simply cut the new executables into my existing folder and everything works fine. I wouldn't be surprised if I run into hiccups later, but I can always do a fresh install then if needed. So yeah... beware the latest nightly! Prior to updating I was running a nightly from about 4 days ago and everything was good... so they may have changed something very recently that played with the audio.

SentaiBrad Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Every once in a while, a Nightly will have some issues. Going back a day or two or waiting for a day or two for the next nightly usually solves that problem for me. I never cut and paste my old configs, I always copy and go forward, just in case something did go wrong and I have to go back and then wait a few days. It's just like our Betas, for the most part everything is fine, but every once in a while something happens and that beta ends up being no good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
