Picade 2018 - No sound from Speaker

Built my Picade 2018 cabinet with a Raspberry Pi 3B+.

RetroPie boots and I’ve installed the Picadehat drivers using curl https://get.pimoroni.com/picadehat | bash. Rebooted and can set up the Joystick and buttons but I get no sound.

When I go into the sound settings in the main menu the audio is set to 0% and will only remain above that if I select the audio device as PCM. Speaker or Master all reset to 0% as soon as I exit.

Even if I wipe the SD card and reinstall RetroPie and the Picadehat drivers when I go back in the audio settings the volume remains at 0%.

Any help? The speaker is cabled up correctly i.e. red wire to + and black to - on the picadehat, and I had the sound working at one point when I swapped the pi out for an older model to test.

I’ve added my Config.txt below.

Some settings may impact device functionality. See link above for details

uncomment if you get no picture on HDMI for a default "safe" mode

#hdmi_safe=1

uncomment this if your display has a black border of unused pixels visible

and your display can output without overscan

#disable_overscan=1

uncomment the following to adjust overscan. Use positive numbers if console

goes off screen, and negative if there is too much border

#overscan_left=16

#overscan_right=16

#overscan_top=16

#overscan_bottom=16

uncomment to force a console size. By default it will be display’s size minus

overscan.

#framebuffer_width=1280

#framebuffer_height=720

uncomment if hdmi display is not detected and composite is being output

hdmi_force_hotplug=1

uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (this will force VGA)

#hdmi_group=1

#hdmi_mode=1

uncomment to force a HDMI mode rather than DVI. This can make audio work in

DMT (computer monitor) modes

#hdmi_drive=2

uncomment to increase signal to HDMI, if you have interference, blanking, or

no display

#config_hdmi_boost=4

uncomment for composite PAL

#sdtv_mode=2

#uncomment to overclock the arm. 700 MHz is the default.

#arm_freq=800

Uncomment some or all of these to enable the optional hardware interfaces

#dtparam=i2c_arm=on

#dtparam=i2s=on

#dtparam=spi=on

Uncomment this to enable the lirc-rpi module

#dtoverlay=lirc-rpi

Additional overlays and parameters are documented /boot/overlays/README
