So I heard that the zenbook 13/14 don’t have any audio on linux, but then I found some reddit comment saying that a kernel update fixed it. Anyone here who uses one and can confirm that?

    You need to post your model #, or at least year and chipsets. ASUS releases refreshes every uear. Your current kernel version would be helpful as well.

    I have a newer Zenbook and can confirm when I first got it, and wiped windows to put Ubuntu on it, audio didn’t work from the speakers. Headphones worked just fine. There’s a blog from some Asus dev community documenting the issues and resolution. I’m on mobile right now and can’t find it. I can confirm it was addressed on Fedora a few kernel releases back though and that all is well. I’ll post the blog link shortly. Per post above please provide your model number.

    Edit: typos

    I have a Zenbook 13 (model UX331F), bought new right around the start of COVID. Installed Linux Mint maybe 6 months ago, audio works just fine, and I didn’t have to do anything special, it just worked right out of the box. I had tried Pop_OS before Mint and I don’t remember any audio issues there either.
