Too bad it can't do the same on the desktop. For example, I just bought a new system with a Gigabyte motherboard and I7 processor. I put Mint 17 on it and 95% of things just work, except for the sound - full of static and choppy. I've spent a few hours already downloading new drivers from Realtek and compiling them (not exactly a "consumer friendly" activity) and it still does not work correctly. Apparently it is a known bug with Realtek ALC892 audio but none of the solutions I have found from googling around has fixed it yet. Not much has changed in the past 7 years since I similar problems with sound on a new machine back then too. Of course the DVD that came with the motherboard is loaded with Windows drivers. It's encouraging that Realtek at least published Linux drivers - too bad they were never debugged, or the docs on how to get them to work are incomplete. If anyone else has solved this issue I'd love to hear the solution.
