    Go to the realtek website to download the sound drivers for linux. Asus website for F3Sv only has drivers for vista

    Already done that...
    The driver installs, then i unmute the sound (i think i've done it correctly...) but still no sound....
    The drivers seem to work, as i can play sound files, wich woudn't play before, but still no sound...

    Problem solved! :cool:

    If anyone have the same problem, here's the solution:

    - open a console/terminal
    - enter 'su' (without the quotes) to get root permissions
    - enter: gedit /etc/modprobe.d/sound
    - at the end of the file, just add this line: 'options snd-hda-intel model=lenovo' (without the quotes)
    - reboot
    - voilá

    As far as i've discovered, this works for several laptop models, even if they aren't Asus (i think its for those who have Intel HDA with Realtek Codec)


    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    for ubuntu users:

    - open a console/terminal
    - enter: sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
    - at the end of the file, just add this line: 'options snd-hda-intel model=lenovo' (without the quotes)
    - reboot
    - voilá
