MacBook Mike Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Hi im having problems getting sound on my acer aspire one D255 netbook I have the operating system installed fine i have no errors or crashes i just cant get sound! i have tried to use the voodoo HDA installs bt they where unsuccessful the hda preference panel is there but it returns an error so if anyone knows how to get even a little bit of sound on i would be extremely greatful!! Also i have grapical issues they are not majorly important to me as i still can view the screen it just has an 800x600 resolution instead of the usual 1024x600 any help to change this would also be much appreciated Other than that i have working wireless using a belkin 54g wireless usb dongle if there is a way to get my built in wireless card up and running it would be useful but to those who are struggling with wireless with the usb dongle it is connected using wpa-tkip security on my network without any problems most of the places i searched said it was only possible to connect using Wep Lastly here are my system specs Acer Aspire One D255 Netbook Intel Atom N450 1.66GHz 512kb cache 2GB kingston RAM Intergrated Graphics (i am unsure on these but i think they are on the motherboards chipset) Intergrated Sound Hitachi 250gb HDD If anyone has any information that would help me please get back to me soon!

WaAcKoO Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Hi I just bought the same laptop and was considering Macizing it. Could you share with us the version and customization options you choose when you did your install? Thanks ahead of time. Also I was doing some research on the web for this laptop and it appears the graphics card is not supported yet and therefore 800x600 is the best we can get for now.
