PorteuX - The Next Experience

[carsti]

Wow. Can't believe Porteus got even better.

Now EVERYTHING works out of the box, except Audio output via my Laptop Speakers. Also plugging in a headphone in the audio jack does not work. Bluetooth headphones do work though.

Any idea how to wake up the speakers and audio jack?

@carsti, it looks like this hardware of yours can be problematic on Linux, according to these reports:

Have you managed to make the sound work in any distro?

[carsti]

Yes. The sound works in pretty much any distro. Linux Mint. Manjaro. etc.

Also the touchpad is a little buggy with PorteuX (and not with other distros). It works somehow, but it is painful to use, since the mouse cursor feels like you fight against some resistance. With other distros it is very smooth.

I was trying nemesis on another computer (I know it's nemesis and not porteux), on this third pc the audio seems not to work!
once i selected the card on alsa and the xfce icon (on porteus there is pipewire, on nemesis only alsa I'm wrong, nemesis have pipewire but no pavucontrol), i was able to set the sound levels, but i couldn't hear anything.
I suspected that the distribution redirects the audio to the jack while the computer is using an hdmi cable from a television.
I tried giving this command and the audio worked: "speaker-test -Dhw:0,3 -c2".
Except that you have a laptop, I don't think you have the same problem as me
