In NYC, I get them from Tinkersphere: http://tinkersphere.com/31-raspberry-pi Then there is ebay and the Raspberry Pi Forum on raspberrypi.org.

Personally i would not mind looking at it to see what the difference is. I still believe that it is an ALSA issue.

???Huh???

If you installed Raspbian from NOOBS, that's Jessie. Raspbian-09-2015 and Raspbian-01-2015 is Jessie; these work with the Raspberry Pi 2 and the others before it.

Raspbian-11-2014 and before is Wheezy, which only works with the older Raspberry Pi's before the R-Pi 2. It will not work on R-Pi 2; which begs to question - does Raspbian 4.1 (For Banana Pi) work on the R-Pi 2? It does work on the other R-Pi's.

So in my Artificial Dumbness - I have to ask, you going to download Raspbian directly?

Yes. I tried every other suggestion and we know the hardware works. What if there is something going on when I use NOOBS? Jeanette Isabelle

You can try but I doubt it. I believe it is a Linux issue with their ALSA (ALSI) Problem and not a hardware problem like you stated.

The hardware itself has not changed much from the Model B to the B+ or to the R-Pi2. It is still 2 chips and the same "audio and video" hardware. Only thing that has changed is the USB I/O an that was with the addition of the second chip.

The firmware update should have taken care of any issues with the software (ie: GPU Mapping with RAM). It should not affected the audio hardware.

I searched through the Raspberry Pi forum on RaspberryPi.org and I seen several posts about sound problems with Jessie, regardless of what R-Pi is being used. It does look like an ALSA Problem. The solution is somewhere out there. The thing is where?

Here's the link to their forum: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/

Here's the link to the Raspbian Branch: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewforum.php?f=66

Here's a couple of links of Sound problems, but yet no real working answer that I see:

Another thing I noticed on the posts, is that a couple of users stating that Sound works fine on Wheezy, but not on Jessie. You have Wheezy with the "Game" SD, if you have not erased it. Do this test:

Boot up the Game SD, and move through the menu to enter the RaspPi-Config, and check out the audio section and set it for HDMI.

Get out of RaspPi-Config and exit to Terminal, and type in the "sudo" commands to switch it to HDMI as it is already set for Headphones.

Reboot with sudo shutdown -r now

Let it go through it's boot process. If I'm right, you should be able to go to AvancedMame or Mame4All and play any video game as a test for sound. Try Donkey Kong or PacMan Series on AdvancedMame; or Crazy Kong or PacMan Series on Mame4All. If I am right, there should be sound on the HDMI monitor.
