    I’m a little perplexed by this I have a bash script that fixes this (I have this laptop) I never needed to compile a kernel or follow all these steps. Ran the script once and it just works, across all updates no issues yet…

    Update: Realised this is for the 7i 10th gen, I have 9i 9th gen (nevermind my ramblings)

    I have an ASUS laptop that maps its multiple speakers incorrectly under Linux, it’s been killing me for months and I’m now considering it. I was not prepared for the realization that the Linux path forward would be to just pay by the bug fix.

    I mean, $2k is about okay for a month of labour in much of the world

      True, but the guy who fixed it is an EU researcher in CS in Canada. I highly doubt he did it for the money. He seems to be into puzzles. It sucks that Lenovo did not compensate him though.

      First of all, it says it took a month of time from when he posted the initial bounty, not a month of labour… Maybe it took less. Anyway if someone has this sort of skills, they should make good money anywhere.
