I had one of these too, and liked it. It was very light, about 2lb. I don't recall audio problems, but I gave up on it with linux because if I closed the lid, when I opened it again the keyboard/touchpad disappeared, and required a reboot to recover. My vague memory is that the controller was connected by SPI. The internet was filled with reports and no solutions. I ended up giving it to a deserving family member with MacOS reinstalled.
