No sound device detected on Porteus MATE v5

Good day.

I have installed Porteus Mate v5 on Acer N18Q8 Chromebook (4 ram 32 eMMC, Celeron n4120) via flashdrive (128 Gb) with 60 Gb of persistant sectors. I have booted Porteus to RAM and it works great but there is no sound and no audio device detected.

Code: Select all

aplay list-devices returns
"no soundcard found".

Via chat GPT and some googling I have found that my sound card uses Realtek ALC5645 audio codec. I have checked this code via

Code: Select all

sudo modprobe snd_soc_skl
but got: "modprobe: FATAL: Module snd_soc_skl not found in directory /lib/modules/5.18.8-porteus". What I understand is that I need to find the module for 5.18.8-porteus and install it using :

Code: Select all

sudo depmod -a 
and

Code: Select all

sudo modprobe snd_soc_skl
Can someone please provide the correct module please? I can't find it anywhere.

hi, you have to upgrade the kernel version like the last one upgraded by blaze: Porteus Kernel Builder (Post by Blaze #93766)
/mnt/sdf1/6.2.5/lib/modules/6.2.5-porteus/kernel/sound/soc/intel/skylake/snd-soc-skl.ko, the 5.18.8 is old the module do not exist.
