Installed #debian 13 on my #T480s a few weeks ago. Runs totally fine, no issues. But I got comments that my mic was sounding horrible during calls. Started to look into sound settings; pipewire, pulseaudio, that stuff.

Luckily, before I really changed anything, I looked at my sound settings. Turns out the input volume of the mic was set to 100%. I assume that is the default as I had not touched them before.

Turned it back to around 50% and all is sounding fine.

Thanks all! Just ordered a refurbished #t480s. Hope it’s better than the terrible X220 that’s sitting in a drawer. It has an IPS display, so can’t be worse than the TFT on my #x220. 🙂 I’ve got 30 days to try it out, so that’s good.

Good news:
* new battery seems to drain fully and not bail at 80%
* new AX210 wifi installed and working, showing AC

Not as good news:
* STILL not getting better wifi speeds :(

#Help J'ai un #Lenovo #T480s sur lequel je veux installer #Ubuntu pour une copine.
#Problème, lorsque je mets la clef au démarrage, elle bloque tout : le splach screen, l'accès au boot manger avec F12, etc. Dès que je la débranche ça continue.
Donc, je ne peux pas la brancher avant d’arriver au choix du boot et si je la branche après elle n'est pas reconnue.

J'ai désactivé le Secure Boot dans le bios.
J'ai testé l'installation de la clef par RUFUS et l'utilitaire Ubuntu. Idem. Une idée ?

Anyone manage to get a #WAN #modem (#LTE for# 4G) on #Lenovo #ThinkPad #T480 or #T480s working under #Linux especially #nixOS ? (so you can insert a #SIM in the SIM slot and use the #cellular network directly for mobile internet without using WiFi nor your smartphone as a hot-spot). Thinking of #retrofitting one... but want to know if there is any point under Linux. Thanks!
