I am trying to convert an Evolve III Maestro laptop into a Linux machine on the Xubuntu distribution.
After resolving some issues with the WiFi adapters, I am running into an issue where my machine isn’t able to output audio to the speakers or headphones (though it is able to output to Bluetooth).
I believe that downloading and installing Realtek HD Audio Drivers will help, but Realtek appears to have overhauled their website and has removed their downloads for Audio Drivers.
Are there any alternative places to download these drivers for my computer?
Additionally, for those with Linux experience, does this seem to be an issue with the drivers?
Here is some data that might be useful.
pacmd list-cards
returns 0 cards.
lspci -nnk | grep -A2 Audio
returns an Audio device for Intel Corporation Celeron N3350/Pentium N4200/Atom E3900 Series Audio Cluster [8086:5a98] (rev 0b).
aplay -l
returns 3 Playback Hardware devices: all listed as sofhdadsp [sof-hda-dsp], then as device 1, 2, or 3 for HDMI1, HDMI2, or HDMI3. There are no other audio device listed here other than those three.
find /lib/modules/'uname -r' | grep pci-intel
returns 5 results, all within lib/modules/5.15.0-105-generic/kernel/sound/soc/sof/intel and starting with snd-sof-pci-intel- followed by either cnl.ko, apl.ko, tng.ko, tgl.ko, or icl.ko.
PulseAudio Volume Controller shows no output devices aside from Dummy Output. I have reinstalled alsa and PulseAudio a number of times to no avail.
