> AFAIK Chromebooks are actually normal PC laptops with different firmware and OS while it used to be (pre-2016), this is no longer correct. Audio in particular is significantly different than non-Chromebook laptops. > I saw "Purchasing Drivers" was are you f'ing kidding me you're right, the dev who wrote the custom drivers for the Chromebook audio should make them free "for exposure" > Aren't they possibly just the freely available official manufacturer's drivers INF-edited with the slightly different device IDs of the hardware? no, because they don't exist. They are custom written by the dev (coolstar). > If I remember correctly, someone was able to turn a Chromebook into a standard PC by just flashing the BIOS corresponding to the identical non-Chromebook model, but this was a long time ago. this is absolutely not possible on any ChromeOS device, unless you want a warm brick.
