I'm trying to install Linux on a Proline Notebook V146GNK, but I'm having trouble getting the sound to work. I've tried various solutions, but nothing seems to help. To be honest, I really don't want to switch back to Windows, especially since I feel like it's becoming outdated and not very secure. Can anyone suggest a way to troubleshoot and fix this sound problem?

I noticed you mentioned 'lunix'—that’s an interesting typo! If you're running a Proline Notebook, just a heads up, they're typically low-end machines. I’d suggest sharing more about what exactly you and others have already tried to fix the sound. It's key to take a methodical approach when troubleshooting. Systematic elimination often leads to the solution. Can you share those details?
Given the error message where no sound cards are found, it's likely a compatibility issue with your hardware. Since you’re using Pop!_OS, make sure that your drivers are installed correctly. If possible, check for updates and see if there’s a known issue with your specific laptop model. If you can't remember what you tried before, that’s okay, just let us know what you’re currently dealing with, and we can help from there!
First, can you let us know which Linux distribution you’re using? Also, try running the command 'aplay -l' in the terminal. This helps identify sound devices. Let's see if that gives us any clues! Here’s how: just type it exactly as it is with all lowercase and then share the output.
