Hi,
For new hardware i prefer Suse Linux now...
Provides better new hardware drivers for my Audio & Video cards -
better than Windows.
Acer Aspire One:
Acer Aspire One - openSUSE If you have HP MIE - this is really just a modified UBUNTU Hardy Heron (8.04.1).
Acer Aspire One on Ubuntu:

From: Install Ubuntu Hardy Heron (8.04.1) on the Acer Aspire One
AUDIO:
Out of the box there are various issues with the sound. These range from headphone detection not functioning correctly, to the internal MIC not working. There are solutions to these problems. Currently, however, there is no known way to get everything working at once. All of the steps begin the same way, rebuilding ALSA:
Code:
sudo apt-get install module-assistant
sudo m-a update
sudo m-a prepare
sudo m-a a-i alsa
sudo alsa force-unload
sudo depmod -ae
sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel
Add the following line to the end of /etc/modules in order to ensure that the module is loaded during bootup:
Now we need to make a choice. To have the internal MIC non-functional (external works), but sound working after suspend and resume, we edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base (gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base) and add the following line to the bottom:
Code:
options snd-hda-intel model=toshiba
Reboot for that to take effect.
To have the internal MIC function correctly, but no sound after suspending and resuming the computer add or change the following to the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base as before:
Code:
options snd-hda-intel model=auto
Again, reboot for this to take effect.
For some unknown reason some people don't hear any sound with either option. If you experience this problem you might want to use the option in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base as before to the following to resolve this problem:
Code:
options snd-hda-intel model=acer
For A150L, model=basic seems to work fine with alsa 1.018rc3 (internal mic and sound work after suspend; plugging headphone in does turn the speakers off)
Code:
options snd-hda-intel model=basic
According to the ArchWiki alsa version 1.018 and up contains a new dedicated audio model option for the Acer aspire one that can be used instead:
Code:
options snd-hda-intel model=acer-aspire
If you experience crackling sound after rebooting, insert the following line in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist:
Optional: The default sound level is low. Open a terminal and type alsamixer to adjust volume.
Here you have ALSA Upgrade Script (if you have after that issues with the sound) :
[all variants] ALSA Upgrade Script - Ubuntu Forums
You have there Attached File : AlsaUpgrade-1.0.x-rev-1.16.tar
Short Alsa-Upgrade script install instructions:
1. download the script and save it somewhere
2. cd <your-download-dir>
3. tar xvf AlsaUpgrade-1.0.x-rev-1.16.tar
4. sudo chmod 777 AlsaUpgrade-1.0.x-rev-1.16.sh
4. sudo ./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.x-rev-1.16.sh -di
Cheers !
