Summary of the Issue
My laptop doesn’t have audio after installing linux mint 22.3 xfce.The audio script doesn’t work. Downgrading Linux version, installing Lubuntu latest version, nothing worked. I reverted back to ChromeOS and the audio functions like a champ, so it can’t be hardware issue. I’ve run out of idea. Here is the link to my debugging script: debug-logs-Nautilus-2026-03-28_22h05m - Google Drive
Model: Samsung Chromebook Plus V2 (Nautilus)
Ram: 4gb
