Lenovo G560 few issues

Hello to all Archers! I have few issues with my lenovo g560.
First of all, when browsing for example, the X suddenly freezes and dunno why... just freezes... The only thing that i can do is the force reboot...
2. i have a mute led button which shine all the time, but the sound isn't muted. How can i fix this?
3. My integrated mic is not found by alsa. Fix for this?
Thanx!

PS. On my desktop PC all works just fine, and not for now, but since 4 years. Arch is for me the most finest linux distro. May be i'm not enough  experianced with the laptop issues...

Re: Lenovo G560 few issues

Hello

I got same notebook: with i3, gf310M. So:
1) Same problem here. I've discovered that when you disable desktop compozition X is not freezeing. In my system X freezes mostly when I'm resizing windows
2) Where's mute button?
3) add to /etc/modprobe.conf:

options snd-hda-intel model=asus
options snd-hda-intel probe_mask=0xffff,0xfff2

firs line set's alsa to work with conexant codec and second disables nvidia hdmi sound. after that open gstreamer-properties(part of gnome-media) and select proper mic

Re: Lenovo G560 few issues

Hello! 10x for posting. First, I use openbox there's no compositing software, just openbox. Second, there are 4 led touch buttons: mute/unmute, vol up and vol down and camera. Mute/unmute button's light is always up. Otherwise 10x for the tips. Cheers
