To play around with Ubuntu and planning to use the device as headless audio player, I bought the Z83-4U. Appears to work fine but...
1.
For some reason Ubuntu thinks it runs on battery? Battery icon is in the menu bar showing 94% charged... huh?
2.
5 Ghz Wifi only worked after deleting the ccode=CN in the broadcom config file... why does this thing not ask the user what region he/she is in at first boot?
3.
No sound from the headphone jack... no sound device in settings. Only when I hook up an HDMI monitor, a sound device (Intel) shows and the headphone works, but I was planning to use it headless with a dummy HDMI plug... how to enable the realtek audio chip by default?
Tried reloading the alsa drivers etc.... found loads of posts on "no audio" and "ubuntu"... none of the tips found worked for me.
BTW, I am a bit let down by the measly 1T1R wifi; maxes out at 433 Mbps...
I hope someone has an answer to point 1. and 3. above.
