I'm hoping someone can help me. I have just loaded LL 3.4 on this chromebook as the OS and all seems fine, other than there is no sound from the speakers. Sorry I didn't try the sound before converting the chromebook, however the person who donated it did not indicate the sound wasn't working so am assuming there were no issues with sound.
When I plug in an audio jack I do get sound through ear phones. I have tried moving the volume switch both at the bottom right corner as well as in the video itself and no go, no sound.
What can I do to solve this? BTW I am a very recent LL convert and only minimally computer literate
Thanks,
Janet
Open a terminal and do:
and:
and report the results. Thank you.
here is what it shows:
Audio: Card Intel Atom Processor Z36xxx/Z37xxx Series High Definition Audio Controller
driver: snd_hda_intel
sound: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture v: k4.4.0-100-generic
So I worked through the list as best I could. I can see movement of the blue bar under the sound level indicating that it is playing (expect I can't hear any sound). I went into each tab, but really couldn't see anything to change...
So I did a system report which I will attach. Jerry I am unsure of how to "...make sure your sound device is configured properly"?
Thanks,
Janet
From what I have read, the only way to do this is flash a custom SeaBIOS, then edit some system files. This may be to much trouble to pursue. If you're comfortable do both, I can point you in the right direction, but there is also a chance the BIOS will brick your Chromebook.
Thanks for all your efforts and suggestions Jerry, I think I will quit while I’m ahead ?
I did have to change the BIOS to Seabios in order to get into developer mode to then put LL on the chromebook, however what you’ve eluded to sounds a bit over my head. Luckily I brought with me a USB audio jack so will include it and ear plugs with this computer when I place it with a youth.
This list is excellent and I appreciate the help,
Janet (who never runs out of questions!)
USB audio was an excellent choice Janet. Well done.
