No audio on toshiba satellite pro u300

[numerodix]

I'm running Gutsy-amd64 and the soundcard seems to be recognized as snd-hda-intel, but there is no sound output. I have tested with various arguments to the driver, such as model=toshiba etc with no success.

The immediate workaround is to install Realtek's audio driver (from source) from their website.

driver: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3

sound isn't working for me either, I'm running gutsy-i386. The following lines workaround my problems:

wget ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.15rc3.tar.bz2
tar -jxvf alsa-driver-1.0.15rc3.tar.bz2
cd alsa-driver-1.0.15rc3/
./configure --with-cards=hda-intel && make
sudo make install
sudo cp ./modules/snd-hda-intel.ko /lib/modules/$( uname -r )/ubuntu/media/snd-hda-intel/
sudo depmod -a
sudo reboot

Hello, the newer alsa that supports also your sound chips is in Hardy which will be released in a day. That's how progress progresses :-)
