Looks like similar problem to [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/AcerAspire5520|Acer Aspire 5520]] === Correct volume? === * Ubuntu GNU/Linux 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex): You have to adjust ALSA volume to make it usable === Headphone jack === * Ubuntu GNU/Linux 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex): When using headphones, speakers are still active.

Major times cannot connect to any network, and when connect is very unstable and the traffic fails. The computer case labels wireless device as "Atheros AR5B91", but is detected as "AR928X" * Ubuntu GNU/Linux 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex): Fully functional == See also == * [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam|Other tested laptops]] ---- CategoryLaptop
