I just installed mint on my girlfriend’s 2015 MacBook. Everything works except for the audio. I haven’t started troubleshooting yet because it was just installed last night.
What MacBook and distro? I had my 2015 MacBook Pro audio work out of the box with Ubuntu 6 years ago when I installed it. The only thing that didn’t work right away was the webcam
First thing to check is Alsamixer. Get on that mfugging terminal and type in Alsamixer and then hit the F6 key to check if Mint was just being weird and muted anything. I had that happen to me a few times where it muted headphones or speakers on its own.
If that alone doesn’t work, it can help to check if wireplumber and be sure this is enabled.
systemctl status--user wireplumber.service
If it isn’t enabled, then run
systemctl --user start wireplumber.service
And if none of that worked, I did find Pavucontrol worked pretty amazingly for me. I just downloaded it and it just worked to just
sudo apt install pavucontrol
and then ran
pavucontrol &
Lemme know if any of this worked. Since you JUST got it, I don’t think it’s anything too crazy.
Put your nerdy where your mouth is!
