Tried VoodooHDA. Still doesn't seem to play audio. Try looking into DSDT patching to get this working.

The onboard network card, listed on lspci as

03:00.0 0280: 168c:0042 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros Device 0042 (rev 30)

doesn't work, and based on most resources, will probably never work.

So, I'm currently looking for supported network cards on ebay.ph, OLX, and other places. I'll update this post as I try to find a supported network card.

UPDATE:
Found a few choices to pick from:

• AR5B95 on OLX (P350)
  • The AR5B95 will work, and just requires a DeviceID fix.
  • Cheap and probably the most convenient to get a hold of, since the seller's just two trains away, as opposed to the other selections where I'll have to wait a little over two weeks for the card to arrive from some supplier overseas. I'll probably inquire in the morning.
• ~~AR9281 on eBay.ph (~P230.73 + P45.87 for postage)~~
  • The AR9281 will work out of the box.
  • This is pretty cheap too, but I've never bought anything from eBay.ph, or anything from a supplier overseas. Also, this will take 13-30 business days to be shipped. That'll take way too long. I might check out the first listing before I looking more into this.
• ~~AR9287 on eBay.ph (~P252.68 + P208.73 for postage)~~
  • The AR9287 will work, and just requires a DeviceID fix.
  • Same issues as the previous item.

UPDATE:
I bought the AR5B95, only to realize that this laptop doesn't have a half mini PCIe port, but it has an M.2 NGFF port.

The only compatible adapter right now is a BCM94352Z from Broadcom, and here are the listings I found on eBay.ph.

• DW1560 + BT 4.0 M.2 NGFF from Germany (P3033.70 + P261.05 for postage)
• DW1560 + BT 4.0 M.2 NGFF from the United States (P1758.25 + P1048.46 for postage)

Alternatively, I'm looking into getting a USB Wi-Fi adapter instead. I'll look for some compatible adapters on Lazada and other sites later in the week.
