Sound on Surface (Model 3?)

#1 Post by 3guesses »

Hi,

I was just wondering if anyone can tell me if Debian functions fully on a Microsoft Surface tablet (model 3, I think)?

The reason I ask is because I have installed antiX-19 (which it says is based on MEPIS and Debian Testing) on my Surface, and most things seem to work (not sure it recognises the battery) but the sound doesn't - antiX Control Centre->Sound Card Chooser reports only one card (chtrt5645:chtrt5645 – chtrt5645) but Test Sound produces a window that immediately disappears and no sound (with or without headphones attached).

So I would really just like to know if anybody has Debian working with sound on a Microsoft Surface (model 3) tablet?

Thanks very much,

3g

OK, thanks.

I've just run "uname -a" on my antiX-19 system and it reported:

Code: Select all

Linux surface3 4.9.193-antix.1-amd64-smp #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Sep 20 20:30:09 BST 2019 x86_64 GNU/Linux
So I guess I'm using a Surface 3 specific kernel, and therefore the sound should work. Oh well, more investigation needed!

Why do you guess that? It looks like an AntiX kernel. "surface3" is your hostname which can be anything you set it to.
