I do, though several of them are stuck on muted or without a tweakable bar. I did, however, come across this today, which seems very relevant. I just haven’t had time to test it yet as I’ve been away.

No, issue is not present in headphones or external speakers, regardles of how they are connected. (Tested on several speakers/headphones connected by jack only, jack+external power, and bluetooth )
Low/distorted audio. Not a “I cant understand this”-type distortion, but a “I can hear and understand if I focus, but its also giving me a headache”-type The issue is not present in Windows 11, and Lenovo support have replaced the speakers once already. I’ve followed several troubleshooting guides as posted on the Mint forums when users there have similar issues.
I have now tested on later kernels, with interesting results. On 6.14 it showed a generic name for the sound device, but on 6.18+ it seems to correctly identify the device as an 800 series intel device. The audio still sounds the same, however.
Of the laptop? Here’s the probe for it: linux-hardware.org/?probe=bb0d00dce1
Sounds like it’s worth trying! Thanks!
Could be worth a shot just to try it, but it feels a bit overkill for this. Could be good to know how to do it for the future though.
Thanks! It feels a bit outside of my skill set, but I’ll take a look!
Thanks! I’ve tried EndeavorOS based on another recommendation here, and it was on 6.18. It didn’t fix the issue, but it changed the behavior somewhat. I can see more accurate information about the speakers, which feels like a step in the right direction. I’ll look into your recommendations too to see if they use the lateat 6.19.
Never heard of that, looks interesting! Great tip!
Thanks! The update manager is a few versions behind. Up to 6.17, I believe. And I’ve been following several threads on that forum made by users with similar issues. Unfortunately i haven’t had much success there either, trying many of the tips and suggestions they had. Trying 6.19 is a bit of a last shot before considering returning the machine.
Thank you, that’s exactly the type of concrete suggestions I was hoping for! I will give endeavourOS a try!
Another similar thing made its way across the internets a few years ago: https://www.boredpanda.com/tv-put-subtitles-kids-channel-political-debate-sweden/
Back then I think the conclusion was that someone had set up teletext subtitles from the wrong channel on that TV. It wasn’t an error from the station. I could be remembering wrong though, since I can’t find a source for that.
On a side note: The language of the subtitles also seems weird if this happened in Iceland. Wouldn’t they be in Icelandic?
A lot of good insights there! Thank you for sharing. First and family name is probably the way we’ll, we just need to agree on the family name.
We just had our baby (Hence the question) and we made sure to pick a name that works across all three alphabets, at least. (Dads country, moms country, and the country where we live)
Pronunciation might be different, but at least its easily spelled everywhere it’s relevant.
Yeah. Our baby will have the citizenships from both parents from birth, then “earn” the right to one where we are living in after having lived here for 3 years. We still need to remember to apply though. We are realizing this would have been easier had we been married before birth.
Thanks! Honestly, this is a big part of why I asked. My partner and I are currently discovering that our newborn child (Who will most likely end up with 3 passports until old enough to make a decision) might not be able to use the same name combination in all the countries it makes sense (Dad is from one country, mom from another, and we live in a third. We are not married) for a combination of legal and cultural reasons. (2 european countries, one asian) Its a bit of a bureaucratic adventure.
We are exploring our options and looking at people who might be in similar situations :)
That was my thinking too. I unfortunately haven’t had time to test yet. Between work and a baby, time for this is a bit limited. But I’ll give it a try soon. Thank you so much for your interest! I appreciate it.
