Thank you gabbo.
I’d like to use HP 2133 for multimedia and small productivity family purposes. I did not find any recent Linux distribution in which speakers are not muted (headphones works correctly, instead).
Does anybody already knows if these hints are still valid for more recent antiX releases?
Otherwise I will resume antiX 17, I will apply these instructions and I will keep my device away from internet (in the worst case, I will go back 10 years with lubuntu 12.04).
