My Nvidia video card has HDMI out, but the video card does not generate sound. Can you try earphones plugged directly into the computer? Then you might choose a different profile.ДЄnd it might be hardware. Are there multiple choices in the Hardware tab? If not, you might run Speaker Test. Gordintoronto wrote:Great post! You might consider Google Chrome, if you don't fear big bad Google.ДЄs to HDMI: right-click on the speaker icon (bottom-right) and select Sound Preferences. Now on to my HDMI problem, but I doubt that one will be as easy. Hope that helps some of you other guys having mouse issues. Opera seems to be a nice Browser and I like how it works so, for me anyway, there may not be a need. I have not downloaded Chromium yet to try it out. I have since downloaded Opera and am going on 3 hours now with no issues at all. This was in both the x32 and the ењ†4 versions of LM15/MATE as I tried installing both to verify the issue. The timing of this would vary somewhat, but always happened within 30 minutes of opening up Firefox. As long as I could manipulate the mouse to get the icon or button(whatever I wanted to click on) to highlight then I could click on it and the program or what ever action I was attempting would work. I specifically mention cursor Icon(the arrow) because at first I thought the mouse was freezing up altogether, but then realized the mouse itself was still functioning. I have come to the conclusion that there is an issue with Firefox that causes the cursor icon to freeze.(IIRC from my searches in the forums, some others have made reference to their mice freezing up while in Firefox even in other distros) One being the apparently common HDMI no audio issue which I am still working on(a non-issue unless you are hooking to an HDTV) and my mouse/cursor freezing up.(also seems to be a bit of a problem from what I am reading) However I believe I have solved the mystery behind the mouse problem as it would always freeze up under a certain condition, but has now worked fine for the last 2.5hrs which it has not done prior. Is there a learning curve? Sure there is, but no more than you would have with anything new in the IT world and the environment both on the computer and here makes it a very easy transition in my estimation. I absolutely love the look and feel(maneuverability) of the desktop.

The installation was a breeze compared to any windows installation I have ever messed with. I downloaded both the x32 and the ењ†4 versions, but have ended up with the ењ†4 version installed. The 2 highest deciding factors being it's purported user-friendliness and multimedia capabilities. I did a bunch of research on-line and decided, for what I want to do, Mint 15 w/MATE was the direction I was going to go. That is when Linux came into the picture.

I began trying to load the OEM software(XP Pro) back onto the replacement hard drive and, as you can imagine had a heck of a time trying to get the correct drives installed. I started this project in the hopes of creating a TVPC out of an older HP/Compaq DC7700s(small form factor PC), Intel 6300 1.86GHz Core 2 Duo, 3Gb DDR2 PC-5300 RAM, 160Gb SATA HD w/an additional NVidia Video card that has DVI and HDMI connections. I share that basically to say I am about as green to Linux as they come and whatever IT knowledge I had doesn't serve me very well anymore. I took the windows 95 BETA test for my A+ certification if that tells you how archaic my IT knowledge base is. Anyway.ДЇirst, I used to be a windows IT guy but quit back in 2002 just when XP came out. This is more informational than a question as I think I already figured out what was going on with this issue, but Mods, I wasn't sure where to put this so if you think it fits better elsewhere(Software maybe?) then by all means please move it. Thought I would relate my experience w/a little background in the hopes of helping any other newbies out there. Another newbie here who has just finished migrating from XP to LM15 ењ†4.
