hello Pierro78. you are the only one who can help me. i have your same notebook (herobook air). I have installed linux Mint but it does not find wifi (bluetooth yes instead) and the audio does not work. what do you advise me to do? change distro? how did you do it?
hello @Gloster96 , if you have basic knowledge of linux you can run the 4 commands in my first post and you will have wifi.
but the problem is the audio on internal speaker/jack : you have to have knowledge of linux kernel compilation to make it work and I don’t have enough knowledge in that (or maybe I didn t spend enough time yet trying) … maybe it’s going to be solved in kernel 5.16 (out at the end of the month ?) but I am not sure …
… so for now it seems better to stay with windows …
… I ll probably try kernel 5.16 when it’s out and will report here …
PS : as a workaround for the sound you could probably use an usb earphone/speaker …
hi Pierro78, I wanted to inform you that I have tried the new 5.17 kernel on Fedora distro. It detected both sound card and microphone perfectly. however, when i restarted the pc, it only recognized the sound card. Even if it detects it, however, no sound is heard, but the equalizer moves if I play audio files.
I have not had the opportunity to do further tests, but it is a step forward.
I ve just tried the live iso of endeavouros (may 2023), played a little bit with alsamixer (headphones and dac settings) and I got sound ! endeavouros also recognized the wifi card ! … I think I am going to install it
EDIT : installed endeavouros (may 2023), audio and wifi working great as I said
(for the sound you need to play a little bit with headphones and dac settings in alsamixer)
BUT microphone is still not detected
