What is the result of "inxi -Axxx" and "lsmod | grep snd" (read manual for lsmod)

In BunsenLabs and/or Boron ?

and in BL Boron:
sudo systemctl --user status pipewire

I'll do that just after, I don't try it now because I need to restart my computer so lose what I'm typing.

Can you se your card if you start alsamixer (in terminal]?

There is only one card named Master so I think the answer is no.

Is sound an important issue on the machine?
Until (if ever) the sound is fixed, you can use an external usb soundcard. There is many usb-headsets, that work well with linux. Or, do you have an empty cardslot? Or, you can go back to ZorinOs.

That's what I'm doing rn, using an external Bluetooth device for sound and I would like to use BunsenLabs or Boron, they are lightweight and cool !

Your title for your help request is misleading. "no soundcard detected" when inxi says it is detected...

What should I change it to ?

That is the old driver name, in old oldstable debian. How can you have that driver in BL beryllium and after manual installation from of ver 1.7 from https://github.com/thesofproject/sof-bin? It does not make any sense.

I don't know

So, now you know what pc you own. Good.

No, bios is not "payload", if you mean "the actual information or message in transmitted data, as opposed to automatically generated metadata."
BIOS, is an acronym, stands for "Basic Input/Output System". "...is firmware used to provide runtime services for operating systems and programs and to perform hardware initialization during the booting process (power-on startup)"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS

Often it is better to have newer kernel/firmware. So, update your coreboot. Check bios settings. Boot to boron. Investigate if audio driver loads and your audio hardware is detected and works.

If it were my computer, I would install boron, instead of work in boron live.

If you can't get any audio working in BL boron, you can test boot Debian testing; Debian 13, Trixie live. for example: https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/week … 4-lxqt.iso

I think, I would change subject line to: "Acer Chrome book, No audio".

Yes, I'm not talking about BIOS in general, but I think this BIOS acts like a payload.
Like here :
mrchromebox.tech/#firmware

The firmware used by ChromeOS devices is built around serveral open-source projects, and consists (mainly) of a hardware init component (coreboot) and one or more payloads (depthcharge for Verified Boot and ChromeOS, SeaBIOS for Legacy Boot Mode) which are subsequently executed.

Ok thanks I'll do that

Should I install it instead of BunsenLabs (after having save all my important files obviously) ? Or is it a bad idea because it's in beta ?

I get this error while launching the script, do you know how I can install the correct version of Glibc ?

ric21000 · 2023-09-12 19:58:36

I think I found how

I guess you are doing this from your BL Beryllium (Debian bullseye) installation. Then command

apt policy glibc*

will return (among others)

glibc-source:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 2.31-13+deb11u6

In BL boron, the response will be:

glibc-source:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 2.36-9+deb12u1

2.36-9, is higher than 2.34, requirement met. If I guess right...
Requirements met if you install (or upgrade to, but i think install is better in this case) BL boron. Even if the amd64-iso is in alpha, i have not noticed any serious problem, only minor glitches.

Or, you can boot boron live session and run the mrchromebox firmware script.

It says

N: Unable to locate package glibc-2.33
N: Couldn't find any package by glob 'glibc-2.33'
N: Unable to locate package glibc-2.34
N: Couldn't find any package by glob 'glibc-2.34'

I think that's because I tried to compile them manually, with the prefix /usr/local/glibc-2.33 and /usr/local/glibc-2.34 to not make the system unusable.

Ok cool, I will install it

I updated the BIOS

Unfortunately the sound still doesn't work in live Boron (I didn't installed it yet) nor BL
