The audio doesn’t work because the system can’t use my sound card. This has happened since installation. The sound works in Windows, just not here. I’ve also tried with headphones and bluetooth, with the same issue.
I’ve looked into some solutions online, but I haven’t found the exact same issue/audio card, so I didn’t try to blindly install strange drivers or modifying system files. Some links I’ve looked into:
This one didn’t help much because there is no
alsa
command, and the config file mentioned at the end doesn’t exist already.
FS#64720 : [linux] No sound after upgrading to linux 5.4.1 This one sounds similar, but the issue was to be corrected on the Kernel 5.5, and I have 5.7.
I’ve noticed this kernel errors with the audio driver:
