Hi,
I got this low end laptop (open box) for about $68.00 from Micro Center this morning. It came with Windows 10 and worked pretty good. I did a full hard drive install of Debian 12 and its working great with the exception that wifi did not work and the audio/microphone is very very low. I was able to fix the wifi by installing the drivers from this website:

Prerequiste before install:Installation:I just put the above wifi information in case someone else gets this laptop and comes across this post. I have not been able to find a solution to the audo issue though. Again the audio is very low and I can barely hear anything with max volume and the microphone has the same issue its very low. So basically low output and low input.
Running inxi -A gives the following information:Anyone have any tips/solutions on how I can get the audio/microphone to work normally? Thanks.
