ChromeBook Ubuntu

Googling Your way to Success

A while back my old-ish Chromebook kept telling me it was out of date, so I found on the internet how to wipe the Chrome OS and install some linux version on it.

Long story short, I had that for a while and it mostly worked but thinking I was smart I decided to try a different version (going from Lubuntu to Xubuntu)

Whoops...I found the install went well and fewer problems than before, until I discovered if listing to any audio for more than a few minutes it would be interupped by a minutes long monoton horn sound. You could not mute or stop it.

Much Googling I finally found one person who said to try thing

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

And then add this one line...

options snd_sof sof_debug

Then the minutes long "horn" stopped, and all was well
I just didn't want to forget this
