    Hi,

    I suggest to try to disable integrated GPU in BIOS. If it is possible.

    best regards

          in new bios there is a "graphic" option, you only have to set it to "discrete" (or something else similar)

                You might want to check if Flashrom supports your machine

                  I upgraded the bios, and did as you told, but the ubuntu install crashed for some reason and I got only blank screen. After finally re-installing ubuntu, everything seems to work except for the internal mic, did you ever manage to make it work ?
                  Thanks for the tip.

                    my mic works out of the box, maybe you just have to update your kernel or your alsa module
