Which distro for reasonable audio?
#1
I had trouble with audio on the Debian installation, so I tried Manjaro 20.04. The emmc-installer would not load (could not find image even after I redownloaded and reflashed), so I chose 20.02 and got it loaded ok, however audio is really quiet and with headphones plugged in it plays on both speakers and headphones.

Rather than spend too much time trying different distros, can someone recommend a solid distro that has working reasonable audio and headphone functionality?  I'd prefer a Linux distro but if Chromium is the one, I can work with that.

Replying to myself here...

I've run software updates on Manjaro 20.02 and it installs the linux-pinebookpro package which largely resolves these problems.

The update did cause a screen brightness issue, but the solution is found here: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/screen-dim-o...-11/128914

A few other people have reported Manjaro 20.04 emmc-installer problems, so I may stick with 20.02 for now or check back in a week or two.

Did you look in the GUI audio settings for the audio 'over-drive' feature ?
I have not seen the Manjaro OS, but many of the OSes have the ability to be adjusted above the 100% point.

the big change with recent manjaro is with boot partitions. i would seek out the latest manjaro image and give it another shot.

i borrow AHEM most of the manjaro configurations for my own debian install and love it. the do great work!
