I have dual-booted my Chromebook with Xubuntu 14.04 and have found that the sound is broken. I have tried everyhting that has been mentioned on the internet. I have restarted pulse, uninstalled it, unmuted sound in alsamixer, and nothing. The sound device shows up in settings as dummydevice. I have gotten everything else working except this, sound issue. I have a Samsung Series 3 ARM chromebook.
I believe that this might fix it, but my low skill level has kept me from copying the files.
copy some alsa support files from Chrome:
cp /media/root-a/usr/share/alsa/ucm/DAISY-I2S/HiFi.conf /usr/share/alsa/ucm/DAISY-I2S
edit
/etc/pulse/default.pa
to add this line:load-module module-alsa-sink device=sysdefault
Any advice?
(UPDATE) I have inserted the HiFi.conf file into xubuntu and add the line to the default.pa. It nolonger has the name "dummy", but there is still no sound.
I have a copy of the "alsa-alsa-lib" folder from Chrome. Which I think contains the necessary files, now Where DO I PUT IT.
