From the article.

Not sure why people still pass this around as if it's positive.

To be clear, his audio jack doesn't work. He gets audio via USB. So no less broken than an iPhone 7.

Well, there IS a site out there that lists 100% compatible hardware which includes (yes!) working Audio and other hardware.

It's unavoidable. Most PC motherboards everything is swappable to the Mac equivalent. You can change the wifi daughter card for a compatible model. You can change the video card for a compatible model. You can't change the built in audio chip that's on the motherboard. But you can alleviate it with a superior USB DAC

It probably can be patched with this: https://github.com/toleda/audio_CloverALC

You can also use a USB headset as I do.
