HP Beats Audio (Using Kubuntu 20)
by starsage77 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#52TWT)
I'm running Kubuntu 20.04 on an HP Pavilion 15-p393nr (Beats Edition)
Audio works fine out of the headphone jack, but the onboard (enhanced, Beats Edition) speakers just crackle when sound is played. I had the same issue in the native Windows 10 that came on the laptop. Until I installed the official HP Beats drivers. Sadly, no such support exists in Linux.
Has anyone else with this laptop gotten the speakers to work without crackling?
