Bash script to enable/fix audio support on Chrome devices running mainline Linux

Note: A full install of a supported Linux distro is required! Live USB sessions will not work.

Instructions

1. git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/WeirdTreeThing/chromebook-linux-audio
   

2. cd chromebook-linux-audio
   

3. ./setup-audio
   

Requirements

1. bash
2. basic UNIX utils
3. git

Supported Devices

See the Chrultrabook docs for more info.

Officially Supported Distros

1. Alpine Linux edge
2. Arch Linux
3. Debian Trixie
4. Fedora 43/44
5. OpenSUSE Tumbleweed
6. Ubuntu 26.04
7. Void Linux

Other Distros

Other distros will likely work but will require you to manually install packages. The script will print a list of any packages you may need to install. It is required to have a relatively modern distro (no old LTS releases) as those will be missing important fixes.
