[xubuntu-users] Sound on Chromebook

[Steve Fowell]

Just to update everyone. You may be interested if you have a Chromebook.

I have now loaded Xubuntu version 21.04 and the sound works!

And I can choose a Chromebook keyboard (although the special function keys on the top line don't work by default as on the Chromebook).

I'm thinking that Gallium is actually being superseded by the latest releases of Xubuntu.

I have searched and found that this is a common issue when installing on Chromebooks. I have also installed and tried GalliumOS which works for sound but is getting old and does not have the latest applications. So I will stay with Xubuntu. However what I don't understand is that, having run the command inxi -SMA I get the following feedback:
