New MeLE PCG02 no sound on HDMI

English Hardware

They had these on Amazon Prime Day special for $50 off so I got one to try - to replace my Levono Ideastick 300 that cannot run anything but Sparky Linux.

I have tried 15.4 and Tumbleweed - no device for HDMI sound.
No sound device on 15.4
Audio Jack sound on Tumbleweed.

I have tried all the stuff in other posts but no sound on HDMI.

They show it working with Ubuntu Linux.

I know it fails with Manjaro also.

Is it too new? Where can I find drivers for it?

Here is what it is:

I have given up and returned them to Amazon.

Intel has not released the needed Linux drivers yet. Just Windows drivers.
