Audio Issues With Minisforum V3

Hello,

I recently got a Minisforum V3 tablet and installed Zorin onto it. A common issue on this tablet with linux is something to do with the physical volume controls not properly adjusting volume and instead only muting or unmuting.

There is this post that goes into the fix, but it is talking about Wireplumber, which I do not believe Zorin comes with by default, and I am having issues making sense of what to do for this fix for Zorin. GitHub - mudkipme/awesome-minisforum-v3: Useful information for Minisforum V3 AMD Tablet users.

If anyone could guide me through this I would very much appreciate it!

When I understand tht right, You have to download the alsa-soft-mixer.conf File and put it in this Wireplumber Directory and then reboot.

To be honest, I don't know what Wireplumber is. Maybe You know that. It seems to be something related to Pipewire. It isn't preinstalled, yes. But it is available in the Repo's. So, You could install it with a sudo apt install wireplumber

If then this Path would exist, You could pack the .conf File like explained in it and reboot Your Machine.

I did that, but how do I find where the directory has been created?

~/.config/wireplumber/wireplumber.conf.d/

You open Nautilus (File Manager) and there You show up hidden Files. click on the Menu Button beneath the min/max/close Button and choose the Option ''show Hidden Files'' (please don't be irritated by the Language on the Picture, my System is in german):

Then You should see more Folders. There look for the .config Folder:

Open it and there look for the wireplumber Folder.

No Wireplumber folder is in there.

Hmm ... When You have now Wireplumber installed, You could try it with create the Folders by yourself. So, create a wireplumber Folder in the .config Folder and in this wireplumber Folder a wireplumber.conf.d Folder and in this Folder You pack the .conf File from the Github Page. Then make a Reboot and test if it works.

Still not fixing the issue it was intended to fix. Darn. I tried asking a question in the discord listed on this page, but none of the fixes given there helped.

And you have downloaded this File:

Maybe you should contact the People from the Github Page or someone from Minisforum. It is the Product of them. So, they should know what to do.
