Installation

See Chrome OS devices page.

Audio

There are two issues:

  • HDMI codec is not supported;
  • When booting with inserted headphones, pulseaudio does not switch output to headphones and you have to switch it manually. Consider enabling device and booting pmOS with disconnected headphones as stock bootloader may beep at the maximum volume and you will lose your hearing.
