Just this week I installed Mint on Lenovo Miix 300-10IBY (2in1) after too much windows problems and updates taking too much space, It is my first time using Linux. I got most problems solved including touchscreen rotation and blackscreen. The only problem left is my audio is not working, no sound from internal speakers or earphones plugged in.
The sound settings has no device listed and volume is stuck at softer and the slider can't be dragged to louder.
I installed Pavucontrol (PulseAudio Volume Control), but it does not start and gives error:
Conection to PulseAudio failed. Automatic retry in 5s
In this case, this is likely because PULSE_SERVER .... is misconfigured.
...
What can I do to get my sound working?
