HP Z Book Fury G10 bang & olufen audio driver Ubuntu 24.04

[SRbot96]

Hi.
I have a problem with the audio on my HP computer. In Windows, the speakers provide exceptional audio quality, but when using Linux, I notice that the quality is reduced too much.
I have tried the official HP ISO for my computer, but the quality is still very poor. Is there any driver or solution for Bang & Olufsen that will allow me to continue using Linux?

Hi SRbot96

To use Bang & Olufsen with Ubuntu LTS, you can use the HDA-Jack Retask tool. This tool allows you to manually map and configure audio ports.

Here are the steps to install HDA-Jack Retask on Ubuntu LTS:

1. Open a terminal and run the following command to install the necessary package:

   bash

   sudo apt-get install alsa-tools

2. Once installed, run HDA-Jack Retask with the following command:

   bash

   hdajackretask

3. In the HDA-Jack Retask interface, select your audio device and adjust the mappings as needed.

I hope the above is helpful!
