I’m using the latest Ubuntu release 24.04 on my SER8. In general it works well but I have two issues that I cannot find solutions for: The option to power off the screen/display after a period of inactivity doesn’t work. The screen goes blank after the set inactivity period but doesn’t power off, then the screen comes back on again in 10 seconds. BTW I’m using HDMI to connect my monitor. When the SER8 wakes from sleep/suspend the audio is extremely quiet, so quiet it may as well be completely off. The only way to restore audio is to reboot, which makes the sleep function useless. There is no issue with screen powering off in Windows 11. However Windows 11 had the same issue with audio being very quiet after waking from sleep until I installed a fix for the Realtek HD audio driver that I found in another thread on this forum. Any help would be much appreciated.

hello, so how about you just use windows system, for the audio issue after the sleep mode, here is the driver for it: https://mega.nz/file/3mRn2Zha#Gx56PI6L4ki-hvi4tyTU3jChTsD0HrnMoUxRfsoc3pQ
