I followed this blog post (https://medium.com/@hrzum101/zorin-os-lenovo-yoga-9i-2-in-1-intel-fixing-fingerprint-sensor-issue-47ec62cfba6b) to try to get my fingerprint scanner working, but the option is not showing in the user settings. I'm on Zorin 18.1 so I'm wondering if that might be making the difference? I'm on the same hardware as the person posting it, but my Zorin version is different. Any thoughts? lmk if you need any more info, I'm not sure what would be helpful to share (new to linux)

New to Zorin (and Linux in general) so apologies for my general incompetence. I've been using Zorin for a few weeks and really liking it, but my bluetooth audio quality is quite bad. It sounds like it did on Windows when I'd be trying to listen to something while also on a call, if that makes sense. I've tried installing blueman and messing with the settings but it doesn't seem to work.

Selecting "off" (obviously) or the Audio Gateway A2DP option just turns it off/silent, and turning up the volume doesn't work. The option without the codec just defaults to the bottom one (mSBC), which is the bad quality I'm talking about, and CVSD is MUCH WORSE.

I know it's not my earbuds because they worked fine on my old laptop that I was running windows on, and I haven't seen similar complaints with the device (Lenovo Yoga Aura 2in1 9i) so I don't think it's a hardware issue, so probably it's an OS side thing.

Any thoughts?
