I was going off of what the guy at the store where I got it said, as I've not seen either brand before, I was looking around and it turns out the hardware from the lspci and that booted into grml didn't match an asus, so I went and had someone read the label to find the model. Turns out the guy can't read, and I've got an acer. It's talked about modprobe snd_intel_hda, and I've tried that as well as using dashes instead of underline, to no affect for audio. unmuting doesn't seem to have done anything, either. Any other ideas? as I said, I'm sort of shooting in the dark, as I have no sound and thus, no speech.
