Tobin, >Which snapshot did you download? I used alsa-driver-hd20070421 > It looks as if the driver isn't detecting your codec at all. Is it possible that your audio is disabled in bios? I agree with you. This laptop has a strange BIOS, you can disable a couple of things (network card,...) but not the sound card. > Also, Toshiba's are notorious for their acpi issues. Try rebooting with "acpi=off" on the kernel boot parameters list. No improvement here, no difference with what I had before... still no sound ...

I grepped my syslog and got a single line out of it: Apr 22 19:07:50 tosh-it kernel: [89422.940000] ALSA /media/sda3/gilles_files/download/drivers/alsa-driver-hg20070421/pci/hda/../../alsa-kernel/pci/hda/hda_intel.c:696: codec_mask = 0x9 but still no proper senses shown in alsamixer and no sound. See output of alsa-info.sh at http://pastebin.ca/452475 Your system "should" show up as a Toshiba with RealTek ALC861 audio codec. > The alsa-info.sh listing doesn't show that codec, but does list the > subdevice ID. > > Tobin > I did a bit of research on the devel mailing list and found http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.alsa.devel/45881 I tried applying the patch (to hda_intel.c) and realised most of it already was in the snapshot EXCEPT line 995, which i replaced with the one from the patch. It now is for (c = 0; c < azx_max_codecs[chip->driver_type]; c++) { I rebuilt the whole lot, reloaded snd_hda_intel and got these two lines this time: Apr 22 19:39:01 tosh-it kernel: [91293.576000] ALSA /media/sda3/gilles_files/download/drivers/alsa-driver-hg20070421/pci/hda/../../alsa-kernel/pci/hda/hda_intel.c:696: codec_mask = 0x9 Apr 22 19:39:01 tosh-it kernel: [91293.916000] ALSA /media/sda3/gilles_files/download/drivers/alsa-driver-hg20070421/pci/hda/hda_codec.c:1819: hda_codec: model 'toshiba' is selected for config 1179:ff10 (Toshiba) This time the right codec is loaded (or so it seems), alsamixer only shows a PCM control (for playback), but there is still no sound. alsa-info.sh output at http://pastebin.ca/452493 I m a bit confused with these results...
