Does audio work in Zenbook 14x UX5401ZAS?

Question

Here it is in the hardware database: https://linux-hardware.org/?view=computers&vendor=ASUSTek+Computer&model=Zenbook+UX5401ZAS_UX5401ZAS

Audio chip is reported as Realtek ALC294.

Audio issues have been reported with Zenbooks and this audio chip. I wanted to know, what's the state of affairs currently? Does it still not work? Can anyone with this model or chip comment please?

Answer 1

I have also Zenbook 14X OLED UX-5401ZA and sound works fine. Also all works on Ubuntu 22.10 kernel 5.19.0-29-generic exept fingerprint and Fn+10 form Camera On-Off. ;) :)
