For people "irritated", please take into account that there's no point in complaining here at the moment.
There's a driver for this particular hardware in the making from people associated to Conexant. Patches were posted to the alsa devel mailing list on December 2016: http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa- devel/2016-December/115899.html Unfortunately reviews of the code brought up a number of issues and it looks like there's been little visible progress since then. If/when this makes it to the kernel/alsa upstream, Ubuntu will eventually pick it up. But when no driver is available at all, there's no point in blaming Ubuntu. There's no way they'll be able to dedicate developers to write drivers for every random piece of hardware that's thrown at the PC market. Particularly if detailed hardware technical manuals are not published by the vendor. Hint: Complaining won't help the developer at Conexant either. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to alsa-driver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1563110 Title: No sound on Asus e200ha, intel sst with cx2072x codec Status in ALSA driver: Unknown Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I've recently bought an Asus e200ha.
