Have you looked at this:

https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/audio-config.md

 

You need to tell the pi to send audio out of hdmi. If you don't, it will use the analog output.

[G+_Gary Cheney]

Yes, I tried but still no luck, the weird thing is that I have no sound through analog output either.

[G+_610GARAGE]

sounds like.... that was unintentional, it's configured to a nonexistent device. But how to check/change that, I am unsure.

[G+_Gary Cheney]

Apparently this is not a new problem, the only thing that is weird is the noobs insert at the end of the configuration file. I am unsure of the control character ^m which proceeds and follows the noobs insert.

I am not a programmer and the last time I had to write configuration files was in the 1980's

Also tried reloading system and it doesn't help.

Out of curiosity, have you ran update and upgrade? I remember having the same problem with my model B+ when I first got it. Seems like I ended up having to install alsa-utils, but it has been quite a while (memory is a little fuzzy!).

[G+_Gary Cheney]

No but I will, thanks

[G+_Gary Cheney]

Tried update and upgrade to no avail. Ran test file recommend by raspberry website still only have sound through headphone jack.

[G+_David Dunn (tanker405th]

That's strange. Maybe someone with a Pi 2 can take a look at their config file for comparison, or maybe it's really defective?

[G+_Gary Cheney]

I am hoping someone else is having the same issue, I did get a replacement under warranty, same thing, but at least audio through jack.

[G+_Gary Cheney]

Thanks David

I think I finally figured it out. I was watching twit.tv on the computer which uses the same tv as a secondary monitor, the sound of the show was coming through the hdmi input I was using for the raspberry pi 2. I believe that the tv is seeing the raspberry pi 2 as a computer input (which it is ) instead of a video input which is causing the audio to be channeled to computer input which is analog. I will continue to try to find a workaround. Thanks to all for the input.
