Hi,

I’m dual-booting Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS on MacBook10,1, audio is not working and I’ve already digged all the possible solutions from online resources, but no luck so far.

What I’ve Tried:
Using Alsamixer, I’ve made sure all sound level are >0 and auto-mute is disabled

I’ve installed Pulseaudio and made sure Profile is Analog Stereo Output and Output device is set to Speakers.

Here’s the

“**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: CS4208 Analog [CS4208 Analog]
Subdevices: 0/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 7: HDMI 1 [HDMI 1]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 8: HDMI 2 [HDMI 2]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0”

also

I’ve really tried many things and I’m not able to list them all here, but with no success

Any help will be greatly appreciated and I hope a solution is possible as I love this combo Linux on Mac :heart: :heart: :heart: :penguin: :penguin: :penguin:

macbooks supported: MacBook9,1 (2016) and Macbook10,1 (2017)

Text above from here (inc. install instructions for Ubuntu)
Luckily found with an internet search.

I would be delighted to test it for you but I think that you may be heartbroken if you had to part with your Mac :heart: :heart: :heart: :penguin: :penguin: :penguin:

thanks a lot for the suggestion, it worked!

Previously I tried 2 other github projects but with no success, perrhaps they were meant for different mac machines.
