Just to update everyone. You may be interested if you have a Chromebook.

I have now loaded Xubuntu version 21.04 and the sound works!

And I can choose a Chromebook keyboard (although the special function keys on 
the top line don't work by default as on the Chromebook).

I'm thinking that Gallium is actually being superseded by the latest releases 
of Xubuntu.
