Currently I’m using a Samsung XE500C13 Chromebook, when trying to play anything with audio for 5 minutes or longer, a horrible audio sound comes out of the window until it’s closed. This mainly happens when using PulseAudio, but when using the other audio source, ALSA, it just mutes the audio when it bugs out. I’m unable to find any fix on it online, as looking for this specific model of Chromebook on this specific Ubuntu distro is scarce.
I’m not finding much of anything myself for this model. My initial guess without looking for more generic problems with pulseaudio would be that the driver is causing problems.
I’m assuming if the audio worked fine before on chromeos and assuming the problem persists even with the live USB/DVD for Lubuntu, it might be a driver thing since it’s not just pulseaudio having the problem.
This terminal command might work to show some audio devices for others to look at:
FWIW, CELES Chromebooks are known for being notoriously tricky to get working with anything other than chromeOS. This is most certainly on-topic here, but you may find more help by going to the Chromebook-to-ultrabook geeks on Reddit - Dive into anything .
It’s a good thing that I’m only gonna be running Ubuntu or lubuntu on the Chromebook, but thanks for redirecting me somewhere to get more help (i guess?) I’ve made a reddit thread for help there and I’ll see what solutions/replies I get.
