[Satellite A200, Realtek ALC268, Speaker, Internal] No sound at all

[angros47]

In the past I had sound (crackling, but working). After some editing of the alsa configuration I managed to get the correct sound. Then, when updating to version 18 uf Ubuntu LTS, it disappeared, and all my attempts to mess with configuration files to restore it failed. Lately I have heard it might be related to a quirk in the kernel and it needs a specific patch, but I never tried (I am unable to recompile the kernel myself, so I couldn't experiment)

I didn't manage to achieve sound even with boot CD, even with other versions. I suspect a hardware issue. Anyway, that computer has been dismissed for unrelated hardware issues, so the bug can be closed, now
