Alienware M14x - No sound in linux Mint 14 (Nadia)
I have done a fresh install of Linux Mint 14.1 x64 on my Alienware M14x. Everything was working fine after installed. Unfortunately, the sound is lost after some time. There's no sound when playing video via VLC, on YouTube, etc. I have to reboot my PC each time to be able to have the sound back.
