Ubuntu 18.04 / No sound on Lenovo Chromebook s345

in flag

I got an Lenovo Chromebook s345 and want to install Linux/Ubuntu on it. The problem is no matter which OS i install i cant get the sound / speakers to work and i've tried every tipp/solution i could find on the internet (except black magic..thats a last resort :D ) So i'm currently trying on Ubuntu 18.04 and the last thing i did is a fresh install and installed some packages like inxi and git. I'm a novice to Linux so every idea is welcome ! Here are some outputs:

Forgot to mention, neither the speakers, nor headphones are working. Tested on firefox, downloaded mp3, vlac..nothing. The speakers were working on chromeOS. Also tried with repository drivers and this one too : https://devicehunt.com/view/type/pci/vendor/1002/device/98E4 ..and nothing..

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
