I was playing with a gateway laptop with the 15.4 at Best Buy and ultimately
did not purchase it beacuse of these same issues...
the audio is likely the Intel High Definition which is causing all kinds of
problems in the linux world.
Try doing
modprobe snd-hda-intel stack=3
or stack=6, or model=gateway, or model=intel
Might help with the sound. I bought theHP Pavilion dv6755us instead and
everything flat out works out of the box. I went to Fry's and they let me run
Kubuntu on a bunch of their laptops till I found one I liked.
I really like this laptop now.

You will likely have to rebuild alsa... or wait for it to update.
