A similar problem affects me as well on an Acer 5755G laptop. My battery works fine in Windows, but not in Ubuntu.

When plugged in, sometimes I have the blinking battery indicator showing that the...

hal is not available in saucy (13.10). The solution that worked for me was to download libhal-storage1 and hal from the raring repositories.

Same issues here. I am using a Compaq CQ45 laptop. Not only does the integrated microphone not work, I also cannot use an external microphone, or headphones. This issue did not exist with ALSA...

@ashim.dubey
I realise that. I too tried unsuccessfully many times before I came upon this solution. Just one more thing, you need to do this everytime your linux kernel is upgraded. However, in...

Hi,
I also have the same laptop. I would recommend you to download the alsa driver snapshot I mentioned in my previous post. Then untar it, and open a terminal in the untarred folder....

The problem in Jaunty is solved if you use the latest alsa driver http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/alsa/alsa-driver/alsa-driver-20090415.tar.bz2
