A Few Problems, If Someone Could Help I Would Be Must Gratef

Post by IneedMintyHelp »

After Installing Ubuntu On My HP Laptop, I'm Having A Few Problems

[1] The Sound Does Not Work Through The Speakers, Only Works If I Plug Headphones in.
[NEED FIXED]

[2] The Wireless Light On My Laptop Flickers When I'm Connected To The Internet? Does Anyone
Know How to make it a stay on the solid ON colour [Being Blue, orange when off]

[3] Is There Anyway to mount a samsung Mobile g3410, Like a Usb Drive etc, to make it show up on the desktop.

If anyone Could help me Fix These Problems I would Be Very Grateful And Would Consider A permanent Switch To The Linux community.

Thanks You.

Why come to the Linux Mint forums? I see you've made the exact same post on the Ubuntu forums as well...anyways.

What kind of laptop do you have?

Welcome to the wonderful world of Linux, Linux Mint.
You can find a lot of info if you type your issue into the search box here & or ubuntu forums, Ex= dv7-1245 sound problems.
Sometimes you have to patch the ALSA sound controller in order to get everything in working order. To find these patches, & or mods just search as described & find another user whom has the same hardware listed as yours & read the steps that they done in order to resolve the issue.
You can also look at the HOW To here, it is an older post but comprehensive = viewtopic.php?f=42&t=32293

As for problem 2 you may have to install the Brodcom STA driver = go to menu, click system, click hardware drivers & see what it offers for your system.

I hope this helps you,
