After buying a refurbished Thinkpad T14 gen 1. On the first day, I removed the preinstalled windows 11, and installed debian. In the updates section, there was an update, Linux kernel or Lenovo system, I don't remember exactly. After a restart, the audio driver didn't work, there was the famous "Dummy audio". Before the update, audio worked fine, but After the update, my laptop's internal speakers didn't work. I reinstalled debian, nothing. Still the infamous "Dummy audio". I had no choice but to Install windows. After using windows for a few weeks, I thought to install linux mint. Well still the same error. I tried to troubleshoot, it didn't help. But a new problem rose, after installing windows again, my microphone, the laptop's own microphone wasn't working. Just like linux, it was showing "No input devices found". I installed the audio drivers manually, tried the troubleshooting methods. I am stuck like this now, But thank goodness the audio works in windows. I am very sad because the point of buying a thinkpad was to use linux, I can't do that now, I was thinking to take the ol' pad to the seller, from whom I bought it. And ask them for a replacement. I need help, please, I can trust on the Linux Users. Only they can help me.
