I try so many forums, one of them could turn on the audio "update-grub" but when i restarted the audio was gone again. I seach and download the alsa drivers but how i can configure to run if it doesnt let me extract. i need hel, no audio and the audio icon is working and the alsa mixer. My sound card is Realtek ALC861-VD and the laptop is Toshiba satellite A105-S4397. Im using Ubuntu 9.10 - the Karmic Koala - released in October 2009 and supported until April 2011.

My sound card is Realtek ALC861-VD and the laptop is Toshiba satellite A100-784.I installed karmic a few days ago and had no sound at all.After trying a lot of possible workarounds but with no solution, i decided to upgrade to lucid.But still no sound.The 'weird' thing is i suspect that the problem has something to do with the following:

 aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC861-VD Analog [ALC861-VD Analog]
  Subdevices: 0/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 6: Si3054 Modem [Si3054 Modem]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

As you can see there is another device that maybe is mistaken for an audio device.

Linux toshiba-laptop 2.6.32-20-generic #30-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 12 15:19:41 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux

Pkease help by asking required info i'm quite lost :-)

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner.
There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. There particularly have been some updates to sound. It would help us a lot if you could test the current Ubuntu development version (10.10).(Live CD will suffice) If you can test it, and it is still an issue, we would appreciate if you could upload updated logs by running apport-collect <bug #>, and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.
