Netbook Sound

[McMacHack]

OK I was hasty and got the Toshiba NB205 netbook.
I had almost given up on sound but the new OSSv4.2 deb package fixed it and makes it work perfect...almost.
Upon initial boot all sound card option function perfectly, except for USB sound cards (trying to use with Skype) and if you close the lid you lose sound unless you reboot.
Anyone have an idea how to tell mint to stop tuning off the sound after the lid is closed.

What setting do you have set for closing the lid (sleep,hibernate,power off, nothing)?

Look at your power settings to find.

Also, check that your swap partition is as large as your RAM.

Generally I was taught to set the swap at twice your RAM, and usually I run between 2-3gb swaps, that seems to be a pretty safe number to allow plenty of room to hibernate and/or sleep, of course if you have a small HD then space is at a premium.

Yes I should have said as large as or larger than your RAM
