Device Specific Configurations

Derek J. Clark edited this page Feb 17, 2024 · 15 revisions

Introduction

ChimeraOS's design philosophy is to cast a wide net when it comes to compatibility of hardware. The ability to install on as many configurations as possible sometimes presents the opportunity for conflicts with necessary quirks or workarounds for specific devices. As such, these are not normally enabled by default but if well understood they can be included in the image in a disabled state. This page attempts to document these quirks and how to enable them for a given device.

Liability Disclaimer

While we do our best to thoroughly test each device quirk that is listed here, a multitude of variables can change the efficacy and/or safety of any particular tweak. ChimeraOS and the ChimeraOS Development Team provide no guarantee that the following tweaks, quirks, workarounds, fixes, and information contained herein will not cause malfunctions or damage to the installed equipment or users. Any use of this information constitutes agreement by the user that it shall be considered at ones own risk and no liability shall be incurred on any member of the ChimeraOS Development Team or the ChimeraOS Organization. If any adverse affects are noted, please report the issue so the circumstances can be understood and the information updated and/or removed.

Tweaks

AOKZOE A1/Pro

Issue: The display EDID is incomplete leading to certain refresh rates not working properly.

Solution: Firmware Overrides can be enabled that resolve the screen refresh rates.

AYANEO AIR

Issue: Speakers are out of phase, causing distorted audio. This is due to a hardware defect from the factory

Identification: Watch this video. If the in/out of phase sections seem backwards, apply this fix.

Solutions:

1.) (v42+) Enable the systemd unit that inverts the phase of one speaker.

1.1) systemctl --user enable --now aya-air-audio

1.2) In the audio settings, select the new AYANEO device.

2.) AYANEO are offering a hardware kit with updated speakers. This will require disassembly of the unit. Contact service@ayaneo.com for information on a replacement.

AYANEO AIR Plus (AMD Variants)

Issue: The display EDID is incomplete leading to certain refresh rates not working properly.

Solution: Firmware Overrides can be enabled that resolve the screen refresh rates.
