Hello Ask Ubuntu users,

I installed Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS on a Levono Ideapad 3 Chromebook. When installing it, I wasn't able to get the audio to work. I am assuming this is a driver issue. Does anyone have any idea on how to fix this problem?

More computer specs (If needed):

4GB - Memory Intel® Celeron(R) N4020 CPU @ 1.10GHz × 2 core - CPU Mesa Intel® UHD Graphics 600 (GLK 2)

  • Since the chromebook does not have a lot of disk space, I would suggest you to remove snapd, and use APT packages instead. If you are using Firefox, see https://askubuntu.com/questions/1399383/how-to-install-firefox-as-a-traditional-deb-package-without-snap-in-ubuntu-22/1404401#1404401 – Archisman Panigrahi Sep 19 '23 at 03:25

First check whether your Chromebook is supported.

There is a audio-script repository for Chromebooks, which works for Ubuntu 24.04 and later versions. Note that Ubuntu 22.04 is not well-supported by the audio script.

Ubuntu 24.04

You have to download an older version of the audio script

wget https://github.com/WeirdTreeThing/chromebook-linux-audio/archive/e45a2d0ad56df260b4c9a5a76dfc6d180ceb8e00.zip
unzip e45a2d0ad56df260b4c9a5a76dfc6d180ceb8e00.zip
cd chromebook-linux-audio-e45a2d0ad56df260b4c9a5a76dfc6d180ceb8e00

Then, run the script with ./setup-audio.

Ubuntu 25.04+

Download the latest version of the script with git, and open the repository in terminal.

sudo apt install git
git clone https://github.com/WeirdTreeThing/chromebook-linux-audio
cd chromebook-linux-audio

Then, run the script with ./setup-audio.

Speakers and mic should work after a reboot.
