I am having trouble with the audio on my Zorin OS installation. The internal speakers of my laptop sound very muffled (almost like they are underwater) and the volume is extremely low, even when set to 100% or amplify it to 150%.
Details:
Zorin OS Core
Gemini asked me to upload these pics or the code as a reference while asking for help... idk what the first SS is trying to show.
What I've tried so far:
Checked sound settings and verified the output device is correct.
Toggled "Over-amplification" (it made it louder not as loud as needed also the quality is still muffled).
Any help or driver suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Welcome to the Forum!
You ave relatively new Hardware. Maybe a newer Kernel could help. Here are Instructions:
You may need to use an earlier kernel than the current kernel used by Zorin. This method allows you to set the kernel that you will boot into by default.
To set the new kernel to default:
Boot into the kernel you wish to be Saved.
Open terminal and run:
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
Change GRUB_DEFAULT=0 to GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
Hit enter to drop down a line.
Add GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true
ctrl+x to exit, then the y key to say yes to save, then the enter key to save as current configuration.
Ru…
Could You post the Output of sudo lshw -C multimedia please?
