Thanks I see you have the ELAN. I've heard some ship with a worse trackpad, where did you buy this one?

Have you had any issues with the trackpad?

Also do the speakers work ok? I tried my friend's with ubuntu live cd and the audio was not good. Crackling everywhere.

To resolve the sound issue do the following:

Code:

sudo nano /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/analog-output.conf.common

Change:

Code:

[Element PCM]
switch = mute
volume = merge
override-map.1 = all
override-map.2 = all-left,all-right

To this:

Code:

[Element Master]
switch = mute
volume = ignore


[Element PCM]
switch = mute
volume = merge
override-map.1 = all
override-map.2 = all-left,all-right


[Element LFE]
switch = mute
volume = ignore

This ensure the sound behaves.

I'll report back once I have the fingerprint reader working, but the sound was the only thing that was irritating me so I thought I'd share.

This might help anyone having speaker issues:

Hello there,What you experienced is a relatively common problem, fixed by installing pulseaudio-daily (google for it and the first result is the PPA, add it and install the package).
By default, a live CD will not have the latest kernel + pulseaudio package(s), needed to support the subwoofer and channel mapping for the SKU. Recent kernels + pulseaudio stacks fix that.

This works perfectly on my system. Zenbook 3 UX390U
Thanks a lot.

I'm still getting scratchy audio. Did not seem to make any difference for me.

Yes, audio works fine so far. With loud sound there is some vibrating of the laptop chassis.

@hanni_ali

Your Code solved the audio-volume issue for me. And the Speakers sounds now more full. Thanks a lot Hanni!!!!

This seems to fix the sound control issues, but I have no volume output from my headphone jack...anyone have similar issue or a suggested fix?

Thanks.

Thanks.

Welcome. Better to start a new thread with a descriptive title and more detail about your issue than jump on this on which was started by another person about their issues. Good luck.
