I'm going to have internet access for my Linux Mint 15 computer soon, but I've been trying to fix the no audio HDMI problem. Problem is I cannot download the apparent fix. I do have sound from the computer. But I am super new to the OS, and it does have a learning curve. Basically what I am finding is I cannot install anything or fix anything without an internet connection. Is there a fix that I am not finding that does not require an internet connection? Can I do anything besides word process and play music (what is the point of a DVD drive besides playing movies)? I know it's powerful and that the Android system is based on it, but why can I not get functionality without the internet? Please let me know I'm wrong.
