i have a acer 8930g laptop with mint 7 installed can't get sound to work. found my way round the nvidia graphics to get the screen to work but lost when it came to get the pc speakers and sound card to work
i have set the preferences to auto detect but at a loss as to the logical steps i need to take.

Hi,

Welcome to LQ!

I'm not sure about 'Mint' but try using 'alsamixer' from the cli as root. Setup the controls then 'esc' and do 'alsactl store'. Once you restart then the sound should work.
