If you are having issues with your speakers or microphone not working after a fresh install of any Linux distro, install WeirdTreeThing’s audio script from [here][https://github.com/WeirdTreeThing/chromebook-linux-audio].
Ubuntu is NOT supported. Debian requires a custom kernel, which the script automatically downloads/installs it for you if you choose to do so. If you want the best experience, don’t use Ubuntu. If you run into any issues, you are on your own. Other distros will likely work but will require you to manually install packages.
Supported Distros:
- Arch Linux
- Fedora 39/40
- PopOS
- Debian 12 Bookworm
- Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE)
- OpenSUSE
- Void Linux
Q: I installed the script, rebooted my system, and audio and mic does not work still. What do I do??!!1
A: Verify that your input/output are specified correctly in your system settings. If that does not work, please run the following:
cd ~/Desktop;wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chrultrabook/linux-tools/main/debugging.sh
This will automatically collect all required data for debugging, and package it into a .tar.gz file.
When asking for support, please provide this file. It is crucial, and without it, we are unable to help you with anything audio related. Please be patient; we have other things going on too.
stoney and Debian. Try using this one
