Yes you can access Windows shares directly and play the media from there with no issues. I do it all the time.
I have a newer Zenbook and can confirm when I first got it, and wiped windows to put Ubuntu on it, audio didn’t work from the speakers. Headphones worked just fine. There’s a blog from some Asus dev community documenting the issues and resolution. I’m on mobile right now and can’t find it. I can confirm it was addressed on Fedora a few kernel releases back though and that all is well. I’ll post the blog link shortly. Per post above please provide your model number.
Edit: typos
Thanks for the input. To simplify we’re going with straight edges (I think it’ll look classier too) and I am going to put some dowels in for a bit of additional joinery strength. See pics attached for some drawings. Also I think technically this is just an angled bridle joint, not a half-lap bridle joint.
Now I have a further Q. And that is “how does one cut the inside of the outer(!!) bridle, on an angle to accurately match the taper?” (see the triangle with text labels on the drawing). The offset from horizontal is about 2.5 degrees due to the tapered nature of the horizontal legs.
