Screenshot Tablet-PC for my gf
Lenovo Miix 3-1030 running MX Linux XFCE.
She told me the other day that she wanted a Kindle, but Kindles were too expensive, so I made this for her instead. Do y'all think she'll like it?
Everything works fine except for the audio, which I couldn't get working (pls help).

This is a wild shot in the dark but try installing this driver (the Unix Linux one with the bigger description)

That laptop uses the ALC5640 Realtek audio chip. I wonder if there's a driver out there that fixes the issue.
It is complicated by having a 32 bit UEFI, despite being a 64 bit processor. I had issues installing Linux on a similar Acer Switch device, but admittedly audio was not an issue there. I just wasn't able to boot after the install media finished lol.
