I have dual-booted my Chromebook with Xubuntu 14.04 and have found that the sound is broken. I have tried everyhting that has been mentioned on the internet. I have restarted pulse, uninstalled it, unmuted sound in alsamixer, and nothing. The sound device shows up in settings as dummydevice. I have gotten everything else working except this, sound issue. I have a Samsung Series 3 ARM chromebook.

I believe that this might fix it, but my low skill level has kept me from copying the files.

copy some alsa support files from Chrome: cp /media/root-a/usr/share/alsa/ucm/DAISY-I2S/HiFi.conf /usr/share/alsa/ucm/DAISY-I2S

edit /etc/pulse/default.pa to add this line: load-module module-alsa-sink device=sysdefault

have a look here in the archwiki (the advanced tab). Maybe you just need to unmute a device via alsamixer.

I have had numerous problems with Mint XFCE and XUbuntu getting the audio set up correctly. I have found that it often has the default audio output ("sink") set incorrectly. To get it working, start by typing in terminal:

pacmd list-sinks

This will tell you available sound cards and outputs for each one. Figure out which output you want to be your default and then edit the default to that number with the following:

pacmd set-default-sink X

(with X being the number of the output you want).

Hopefully your correct audio output will now show up as an option in your sound preferences and you will be good to go.
