Thank you for the help @infeeeee@lemm.ee @BaumGeist@lemmy.ml - I believe the issue with the audio is hardware related. I reinstalled Mac OSX using the built in recovery tool and that does not detect the sound card either. So sometime in between it being used last and me installing Ubuntu on it the hardware failed. I don't think I will bother replacing the logic board as it is a 10 year old laptop and is otherwise working just fine.
Regardless, it's good to be using Linux again!
You download them directly from thr Humble bundle website. They appear to be DRM free.
They are all available in PDF but only some are available in all formats, and the rest are either only PDF and MOBI or PDF and ePUB, if that matters to you
Didn't have any luck setting the model - I read through those doc pages you linked and a lot of it is over my head but I think I was able to learn a few things.
At this point - I am not seeing any of the errors mentioned anywhere - I only see HDMI audio as the only card and that is displaying no errors (this laptop doesn't have an HDMI port, only thunderbolt, and I don't have a cable or adapter to even test if that audio is working on an external monitor) I'm not sure if Linux is incorrectly reading the internal sound card as the HDMI output, if it's all on the same card and the internal output is not being read, or if the internal sound card is just totally not working (hardware issue) - To my knowledge there was no issue with audio on Mac OSX but this laptop hasn't been used in a while.
I really appreciate your time and if you want to continue helping I will put more info below, but I also understand if you don't want to think about it anymore 😄
I didn't see any of the errors mentioned on those pages when checking dmesg (assuming that is where they would be) - I read through all the errors, nothing related to sound that I could tell, and used grep to pull out the messages containing references to snd or audio, etc:
[ 10.711044] snd_hda_intel 0000:00:03.0: bound 0000:00:02.0 (ops i915_audio_component_bind_ops [i915])

[ 12.605925] input: HDA Intel HDMI HDMI/DP,pcm=8 as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.0/sound/card0/input16
If you want I can put the whole dmesg here but it is a lot of text.
I also ran lsmod |grep 'snd' after the changes and the result is exactly the same before any changes and after each change:

That is my biggest gripe with modern windows. The OS itself is pretty decent, but WHY am I paying at minimum $100 and seeing ads all over the start menu? Even with a vanilla MS sourced USB there are so many bloat apps. It didn't used to be that way.
I set up a PC for recording in a sound system and got a fresh install of Windows 11 on a custom PC and it was still super bloated with garbage games and a video editor that watermarks footage instead of the perfectly functional basic software they used to have.
I am in the process of repairing and setting up an old macbook with Linux since it stopped getting Apple updates. When I get a new laptop I will likely go with Linux there as well.
I love connect. I used sync for a bit and it's great too but I fully switched to connect now
Thank you! I will try that out and read through those pages. I never had sound through speakers or headphones.
I also changed to regular Debian desktop to see if that would fix the issue per the post about someone getting the same model working on plain Debian with no audio issues, but the behavior is the same. The post was a few years old so I'm guessing it's a version difference.
I will reply back with those outputs when I have a chance to try this. Currently the laptop is kind of unwieldy to use as I accidentally broke the teackpad (or track pad cable) while replacing the keyboard so I'm waiting on parts. External inputs work I just need to clear space to set it up for troubleshooting
I was able to get alsamixer to show the HDMI audio output by adding options snd-hda-intel model=generic to the alsa-base.conf file, but that is all it can see, and that doesn't utilize the speakers on the laptop.
pacmd list-cards gives this - it looks like it is only the HDMI audio

Thank you! The webcam is working fine now. still can't figure out the audio but I'll keep messing with it
I thought so but I've only ever used it on taller TPU prints where I want them to basically be hollow so I've never seen it look quite like that!
Those look great! What is the top left one?
There's a type of cubic that starts out lower and increases in density as it reaches the top to support the top layers. That's mainly the one I was thinking of. I can't remember the name of it though. And lightning is suuuper fast but provides basically no strength
Same. Sometimes you want something fast. For things that don't need to be sturdy at all (little display figures and stuff like that) I'll use cubic or even lightning infil
That's a good tip - I haven't tried that yet. I'll give it a shot next time I need something sturdy
Looks great! I don't use a Macbook anymore or I'd test it out.
Are you printing in PLA? I have really been enjoying PETG for mounting things as it is a lot less brittle. It will flex a lot more before it breaks
Yeah I do like that it doesn't jerk the printer, just a little wiggle!
This is PETG also - it makes for super sturdy prints.
I haven't had a use case where something is too thin for gyroid yet. I can definitely see that being useful though!
It's like a little dance for every layer
I haven't tried that one yet. I don't see that one in Cura - is that in prusa slicer?
How's the performance / system requirements compared to Debian 12 with xfce? I'm on pretty old hardware and lower system requirements was why I installed Debian over Ubuntu. I don't see CPU mentioned in the requirements on that link, just RAM and disk space
