Hi everyone,
I just did a fresh install of Fedora 42 on my Asus Zenbook S14, and I’m having trouble with three key things:
- No sound output (neither through the built-in speakers nor headphones).
- Bluetooth isn’t working properly
- The microphone doesn’t seem to work (not detected by any apps).
I’ve read that similar issues have occurred on previous kernel versions in the past, and back then, the general advice was to wait for newer kernels that would eventually fix driver or compatibility problems.
Right now, I’m on kernel 6.14.2, fully up to date, and I was wondering if anyone else with similar hardware is seeing these same problems on Fedora 42 with recent kernels.
Any advice, workarounds, or confirmation that things are working (or not working) on your end would be super helpful. Thanks in advance!
I’ve attached some logs in case they’re helpful or if someone else has run into the same problems.
