No sound - Ubuntu Mate 21.04 + Chromebook

tr flag

When I open sound settings, No profile options are listed for "Built-in audio" except for "Off".

Machine is a Acer Chromebook Spin 713 with MrChromeBox coreboot firmware and Ubuntu MATE 21.04 installed (however, issue also exists with Lubuntu 20.04.3). Laptop has built-in speakers and a 3.5mm audio jack, but does not recognize any playback audio devices except HDMI.

Sound Device: 00:1f.3 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation Comet Lake PCH-LP cAVS DeviceName: Multimedia audio controller Subsystem: Intel Corporation Comet Lake PCH-LP cAVS Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 64, IRQ 148 Memory at 9fa14000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Memory at 9f900000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1M] Capabilities: Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel Kernel modules: snd_hda_intel, snd_sof_pci

Note: I have made one modification to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf, adding the following line: "options snd-hda-intel dmic-detect=0" Before this, the laptop's sound card was not being recognized at all.

I have the exact same issue, but I have an Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Go 14" (Jasper Lake intel chip) that I loaded with MrChromebox RW_LEGACY firmware, and I now run Ubuntu 22.04. Audio only works over HDMI, not 3.5mm jack nor internal speakers (the device is listed as "Dummy Driver" in the sound settings). `sudo dmesg | grep audio` lists: ```[ 3.653584] snd_hda_intel 0000:00:1f.3: bound 0000:00:02.0 (ops i915_audio_component_bind_ops [i915])```, so the driver appears to be working fine.

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.
