Was working with STG USA on my HDMI audio issue. They eventually said “They don’t support Linux”. My reply was as follows…
It's a shame because other than HDMI audio, it seems like a nice computer. Also there are many YouTube videos showing Linux running on this computer. I did ask Amazon's AI "Rufus" BEFORE I BOUGHT IT if it ran Linux. And it said "yes it works well with Linux" even adding "it has excellent Linux driver support". See attached image. That answer is different today. Being that HDMI audio worked perfectly on my other Linux computer, I kinda suspect it's a BIOS issue. Anywho, I'll return it. I'll probably end up buying a much more expensive Mini computer.
