As it says on the tin. I ran the audio script as instructed and rebooted the Chromebook. Despite this, audio is still not working. I will give more details if needed, but that’s pretty much the long and short of it. I’ve retried the script about three times now. My board is CAROLINE and I’m at a loss as to how to proceed.

Have you tried installing pavucontrol?
Yes, I have. I went to the config tab and there were multiple chips and I set them all to ProAudio. This didn’t fix it. I will provide more details when I get home.
Here’s the screen shots. The first shows that in the configuration tab I’ve enabled Pro Audio on everything. The second shows the output devices that pavucontrol is detecting. The third shows Built-in Audio Pro 3 and no other devices peaking while Back in Black is playing. Note that despite it saying that a device is playing music, I hear nothing.
It happens beacuse of kernel. If you use linux mint original not debian you will 100% get sound. It also happend to my chromebook 15.6 inch. kernel 6.6.n or above solved my problem check what kernel version you have.
.Sorry for late reply.
I thought linux mint was Ubuntu, i.e. not supported. I knew Debian needed a custom kernel but I thought the script did that for me. I will have to check my kernel version and possibly update.
I don’t think the kernel is the problem. As I said, the audio script is meant to install that for you and it seems like it has. My kernel is currently 6.6.58-chrultrabook, which meets your specifications for what should work. Anyone else have any other ideas? There are other kernels available, but I don’t know if any of them would work any better.
This did finally work. I set it to one of the 6.11 kernels and ran the audio script again without letting it install the custom kernel. After a reboot, the sound was finally working. The custom kernel must be broken on CAROLINE boards or something along those lines, which is probably worth investigating. I also can’t edit my post to add SOLVED to the title unfortunately, so I’d be appreciative if someone who has the power to do that could.
Hi, I’m trying to get this work too, I’m on Debian 12.9, I haven’t used the firmware utility script for a while, and I don’t seem to have the option to change the kernel like I think i used to. How did you do that part? It only shows this for me:

Surprised to see this being possible too, because it used to be unsupported, the support table even said sthing like “never will be either”.
