I have an HP Pavilion dv6847us that I plan to use with any kind of "recent" GNU/Linux. I say "recent" meaning not older than 5 or 6 years, since I dont want to be fiddling to much for programs to work out of the box.
Up until now, I've been able to get Wi-Fi and GPU working properly on Linux Mint 20.3 "Una" (xfce), with the propietary drivers and such. The only thing I'm having issues with, is audio. After some research, I've been able to find that this laptop has the Realtek ALC861-VD-GR audio chip. And this was because I found the Service manual, because nor
or
showed any useful info:
Code:
fpp@FPP-dv6000:~$ inxi -Axxx
Audio:
Message: No Device data found.
fpp@FPP-dv6000:~$ aplay -l
aplay: device_list:276: no soundcards found...
Is there anything I can try to get my audio working?
Code:
fpp@FPP-dv6000:~$ inxi -Frzxxx
