Many thanks to this excellent resource I have managed to get Linux Mint up and running on my Chromebook. However there is something which is bugging me and that is that sound is not working at all. I have done lots of reading on this site and elsewhere and tried a few things however the problem persists.
Board Name = AKALI360
Device Name = Acer Chromebook Spin 13 (CP713-1WN)
Disabled firmware write protection (disconnect battery method)
Flashed MrChromebox’s UEFI Full ROM firmware
Installed Linux Mint 22.1 Xia from an .iso on a USB drive via Ventoy.
I followed the “Fixing Audio” steps here, running WeirdTreeThing’s script
Some more details here in case they help…

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Let me know if I can provide more info.
