Hi all,
Well it appears that there are a lot of variables here, more than I had counted on. From what I have seen the keyboard and trackpad firmware may be an issue, along with the laptop I have is about a month old, and may be different firmware or even controller than some from times prior.
first for disimic, it's pretty obvious from your reply that you know way more about this stuff than I do. But looking at your issue and the description the problem you experience and that which OP Neilcob describes, seem to be exactly what I was seeing. Also the stock settings for the noise cancellation were exactly what you saw 8 8, and reducing them is what helped. While I haven't yet tried another distro, I hear its easy to throw a stock manjaro KDE on an SD card and give it a go. That will let you see if the setting/driver/os combo that ships stock will let you change that setting and actually have it do something like it did on my laptop. If that works then we know it's something on the software side that can hopefully be changed to remedy the issue. If that doesn't help, then we can assume it's probably on the firmware side, which is a bummer since the changes disimic did in the firmware appeared to have no effect.
If there is any info I can provide regarding my settings, firmware, drivers etc. just let me know I'll happily try to dig them up for you. I can say, other than adjusting the settings mentioned I have not flashed any keyboard or trackpad firmware or anything like that. My pinebook is mostly bone stock except for a few programs I have installed.
Good Luck,
BCB
