I had heard that Linux Kernel 4.19 was out, or nearly so, and that that kernel would provide support for AMD's new-ish Raven Ridge APUs.
So I tried the newest Manjaro distro, the KDE edition. Supposed to be a rolling distro, and newest bits.
Made a USB flash drive, couldn't get it to boot past text mode. Apparently, doesn't support the Vega iGPU yet, or something along those lines? (Guessing here.)
So, I downloaded Linux Mint 19 v2 Cinnamon 64-bit, put that overtop on the same flash drive, and installed it.
It booted live, I installed, rebooted, couldn't get HDMI audio, updated, then installed "ukuu" PPA, and installed it.
I used ukuu to get and install the newest 4.19 -RC4 kernel, and rebooted.
Everything seemed much the same, the video was working, and then I went to the audio control panel, and with internet radio playing in Firefox (after disabling Flash Player), I switched the audio device to HDMI/DP-generic, and voila, I had sound! Finally!
I had tried using Mint 19 in the past, and it worked for video and internet, but I previously couldn't get the HDMI audio to work properly. It looks like kernel 4.19 is a winner!
Just a short guide. There's a guide I followed on the internet to installing the ukuu PPA.
Edit: Maybe working (2019-01-16)? See post #12 for more info.
