No sound with Toshiba P850-132 laptop

[Lars J. Stenberg]

Hi
I have recently bought a Toshiba P850-132 laptop and configured dual boot Win7 and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. The sound card works fine in Win7 but no sound in 12.04 (mute unchecked, channels checked w/ alsamixer)

cat /proc/asound/card*/codec\#*|grep -i codec reveals:

Codec: Realtek ID 280
Codec: Inel PantherPoint HDMI

This seems to point at Realtek ALC280 is not supported (yet) !? - any ways to fix this?

Hi there;

I am planning to buy this model, is this problem resolved?

Moreover; is this only Ubuntu 12.04 LTS related, it may inappropriate, sorry if it's, is the reproduced in other ubuntu versions? What do you reckon?

Regards.

See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1017017
Support for Realtek ALC280 codec was just added to ALSA git repository, so this bug should be fixed.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Hi Dave,
The fix provided for #1017017 doesn't work for me on Satellite P850-B236 although they seem to use same chip. So, this bug is not a duplicate of that bug. We still need a fix for this model.
