This is my first post here, and my first time running Linux Mint (I have some experience using linux before). I have a desktop with an M5A88-M motherboard from Asus, and everything works fine except for the wee little problem with the sound. There is none, only a hissing when the volume is turned up. It detects analog stereo and HDMI audio outputs, but no sound.
Here is the sudo lspci -v output:

i can't make any sense of that, but if anyone can help me I'd be very grateful. Thank you!
