I’ve been using ZorinOS Core 18 for a few months now. It’s fully updated and almost everything works perfectly. But there are two separate issues that have been bothering me and starting to get frustrating. The first one is related to the microphone.

I work from home and have several meetings throughout the day. I have a BM800 microphone and a Redragon headset with a mic, and neither device is recognized by the operating system. The Redragon is actually detected, but there’s no audio input at all, even after tweaking settings in Alsamixer.

On my previous machine (an Acer Nitro 5), I only had to change a few settings and everything worked fine — both devices were recognized. But on my current laptop (a Nitro V15), that same fix didn’t work at all, it didn’t make any difference. What I changed was:

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

and I added the line:

options snd-hda-intel model=alc245,dell-headset-multi

The second issue is related to gaming: if I Alt + Tab, the game freezes and I’m forced to restart it.

Any ideas on how to fix these issues?

that is all I have to say. Loving it so far.

Jumped from pop os as pop os doesn’t support secureboot, mint is ugly, and I don’t want to deal with ubuntu snap

I like zorin because it is stable and lags behind ubuntu releases, because as a robotics developer, ROS compatibility usually lags behind latest releases

ayer instale zorin os y e estado tratando de que reconosca mi mouse bluetooth, me meti a la terminal y le pedi a chatgpt ayuda pero no funciona nada, trate de instalar denuevo los drivers y nada en la terminal cuando trato de escanear dispositivos no pasa nada, alguna idea de lo que puede ser?

I have been new to Linux since January, and I am transitioning slowly to the OS from Windows. In Windows, I had apps like Notion, Tick tick, Claude, etc., a lot of them don't have an "official" app released for Linux. What is the difference between downloading (for this case) Tick Tick from Linux, which is a .deb, and there is an unofficial wrapper of Tick Tick on the app store? Is it safe to log in with my account on the version of the app store even though it is sandboxed? I am still learning how it works around Linux. What would be the differences between the official version (from a website) and a wrapper (unofficial) version from the app store?

Many of you might know the infamous Macbook pro 2011 with its blue death screen... yeah that AMD radeon chip that gave problem. Well I just plugged my USB zorin install and here we are.

Hey guys... I was using Zorin OS 18 Core perfectly fine when I'm still in my Intel Pentium g645 with 4GBx1 DDR3 1333mhz ram. but when I decided to buy a used motherboard so that I can run 4GBx2 1333mhz, I also decided to upgrade my processor to Intel Core i5 3570

Logically speaking, it should run better because 3570 is stronger than G645, but I now have problems with Zorin itself. Even after doing complete reinstallation, I'm getting graphical errors, and when I do safe installation with nomodeset, I'm just looping in user login. The problem persist even when I try to use Zorin OS 17.3 Lite version, I'm still getting graphical errors in normal installation and user login loop in safe graphics mode. Can you guys help me?

My PC specs is
Intel Core i5 3570
Intel HD Graphics 2500
DDR3 4GBx2 1333MHz CL9
1TB Storage (500GBx2) Windows 10 dual boot

so, I've just swapped from windows 10 to Zorin18 this week. when gaming, im missing keystrokes frequently in pvp games. (not noticing it in pve games as much) is there a setting or a glitch that im unaware of that could cause these issues? it's gets really bad when I'm playing crossplay games and I'm trying to move and my character does want to

Hello, im testing out Zorin on an old cheap HP laptop I got back in 2011. I like everything I see so far except the fact that it does not play the audio from video files.

I tried both the default apps, as well as vlc and a few other apps but still couldn't hear anything.

I would think its a user issue or OS issue, but I can hear things from my browser, my music files, and video games just fine.

As a person who whose linux experience is only Steam OS and bazzite im not sure of what the potential problems could be.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what the issue might be?

I went to Amazon to buy another Lancer Blade 16GB stick to go with my other Lancer 16GB. What I did not expect was the price. For 16GB ??? The world has gone mad...
