I have a Medion Akoya E5312 laptop from Aldi. The wireless took some work to get going but I have had no luck on the audio. Here is some hardware details:

There are plenty of posts about Intel HD problems but not ATI problems. The processor is an AMD Turion 64X2. If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate it or I may have to return it.
