Getting sound to work on a chromebook

[dense barn]

Hello,

I want to install gentoo on my chromebook but i can't get sound to work. i posted on the forums a while back and it seemed to resolve my issue because i had sound through pipewire but i couldn't get mic working and i couldn't get anything else to work only youtube would play. Can you look at this and go from there https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1166746-start-0-postdays-0-postorder-asc-highlight-.html I have sound working on other distros with this chromebook because there is a guy that makes sound work on all chromebooks. https://github.com/WeirdTreeThing/chromebook-linux-audio but i don't know how to read code...

Thanks

Joe

Things I could suggest is make sure you're using the pulse server provided by pipewire and not pulseaudio-daemon. Install pipewire with sound-server USE flag enabled. The try installing and using pavucontrol. See if you can configure your voice input from there.

https://github.com/WeirdTreeThing/chromebook-linux-audio unfortunately relies on a debian kernel and I don't have a chromebook to test which parts of the code are usable for Gentoo, formally.

Consider using audacity to test your mic as well just so you're sure it's not an application problem.

I think so but i did that when i first installed gentoo and it didn't help. when i run other linux distros on this chromebook there is a thing or script from what you guys posted above about ucm ucl or something this is the link https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Chromebook/Sound_configuration looks like they updated the orginal link i sent

I did everything in the link that i just sent and everything is working now
