alevfx That’s very interesting, but the only way I can get anything near good enough volume is to crank it well past 100% volume. Then the audio quality is bad as the audio gets clipped. This is using speakers, not headphones.
@support1 I just did the following test: background noise 27db. Using 50% output volume, speaker full-on. Via USB-C (where it works): 200Hz tone 58db, 1Khz tone 74db. Via front audio jack with same parameters, 200Hz tone 30db, 1KHz tone 52db. Via rear audio jack: nothing audible at all.
We have had people mentioning Arch Linux, Mint and now Void, so it is a generic Linux issue with this BIOS (although my kernel is 6.12.10-arch1-1, pipewire 1:1.2.7-1). As the USB-C dongle method demonstrates, the Linux sound system is working. It’s just the audio jack ports are not working, especially the rear one. Looking forward to an update from Beelink!

Hello, i’m actually facing same issue, but unlike others I dont get the sound at all. I’m seeing the audio is displaying but no sound is coming out at all, only hdmi output (through the built-in monitor speaker) is working.
Here is the information, and screenshot
uname -a output:
Linux ***-SER8 6.8.0-52-generic #5322.04.1-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Wed Jan 15 19:18:46 UTC 2 ×86_64 ×86_64 ×86_64 GNU/Linux
for both selection is available, but no sound is coming out at all.
Of course, i’ve tried resetting the pulseaudio as mentioned. Please let me know if there is anything else i need to provide to fix this

Just got it from Amazon. Same problem on Windows 11 - no voice ( 5% only). Tried everything - nothing help. Will return it and try another company.

I can confirm that the last BIOS update fixed audio jack low output issues on Linux.

however, it’s still buggy. it seems that at least the headphones sink is susceptible to some kind of buffer overload at high volumes.
