Unfortunately, the hints on the page you linked didn't work. The firmware on that page is already included in linux-firmware (unless I'm missing something, of course). I tried compiling it in the kernel, but with no result. I believe the problem is something other than missing firmware, because I see no messages about failures to load firmware in dmes. I just noticed there are some audio-related messages in dmesg which I hadn't noticed before: [drm] HDaudio controller not detected, using LPE audio instead cht-bsw-rt5645: ASoC: CODEC DAI snd-soc-dummy-dai not registered cht-bsw-rt5645: snd_soc_register_card failed -517 I don't know whether they're significant or they're spurious messages caused by my including every possible sound card drivers in the kernel. I fear you're right about this Transformer not being linux friendly: I just found out that it doesn't recognize the power button, either. I think right now I need a break from this machine: I've alread spent about three days working on it and I have other things to do. I'll try to rebuild a kernel from scratch in a few days; in the meanwhile I'll use it as it is. Thanks again Stefano

Thanks in advance Stefano Hmm, after googling it seems some of those Transformer models are not linux friendly. There are reports of no driver for the SD card reader and models earlier than yours needed firmware to use the sound card. You might be able to use hints from: https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Asus/T100TA to get the sound working, even though the model is older than yours. Dan
[gentoo-user] help installing Gentoo on Asus Transformer T101HA
Hello to everyone, I'm trying to install Gentoo on an Asus Transformer T101HA and there are some issues I'd need help with. First of all, I must say that many things worked fairly easily. I performed the installation from a SysrescueCD USB stick where almost everything, including WiFi and touchscreen, worked out of the box (aside from having to find out how to rotate the screen, both in X and in framebuffer). After installing everything (of course, compiling all packages on my desktop machine), there are still some things which don't work. One is the touch screen but, given that it worked using the SysrescueCD stick, I'm not worried too much about it (besides, I'm not planning to use it much). The most troublesome issues, right now, are the sound card and the SD card reader. Both of them simply don't seem to exist: they didn't work with the SysrescueCD stick, I can't find any mention of either of them in the output of dmesg, lspci and lsusb and Google gave pratically no answer. I'm starting to think neither of them is supported with Linux but I haven't been able to find any definitive information about this. I tried activating all kernel options I could find which seemed vaguely related to them, but to no effect. Unfortunately, I haven't been able even to find out the exact models of the cards. All I know is that (according to Windows 10) the sound card is an Intel SSt Audio Device (WDM), while the codec is a Realtek I2S Audio Codec. I have no information at all on the SD card reader. The motherboard, according to lshw, is a T101HA by AUSTeK. I attach my last version of the kernel config (using gentoo-sources-4.14.9 which, I just found out, now seems to be masked). I'd be glad for any hint about these issues. I spent all of this afternoon trying to solve them and I can't really think what else I could try.
