Audio not working on KASUMI Acer Chromebook 311 (C721)
Describe the bug I am currently running the newest version of Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) and I have tried using every kernel I can get my hands on and I have also tried almost every distro of Linux and yet I still can't get audio working. if its not a bug and I'm just doing something wrong it would be greatly appreciated if you could help me out. Thank you in advance.

KASUMI is a StoneyRidge device, which we no longer bother to support really. It's a cursed platform with zero performance, which requires kernel build in specific way to get it working, and upstream introduced regressions to Designware's I2S while adding patches for RISC-V in kernel 6.8.
HDMI will work as it's HDA, but getting internal audio to work on Stoney is more trouble than it worth, and it will break sooner or later.
Try a kernel from https://chrultrabook.sakamoto.pl/stoneyridge-kernel/
Sense it has been a while sense I last installed a kernel and there's a lot the files there can you give me a basic run down of what file to install and download please.
Edit: so I tried installing every .deb file I could and I managed to get the audio working but now I can't connect to the internet. Some of the .deb files also gave a error saying it didn't have the right dependencies so I believe that may be the issue but any help would still be appreciated.
