Comment 19 for bug 120302

Hi all.
After a nightmare of reading many many posts I fixed my sound issues by just issuing
sudo chmod -R a+rwX /dev/snd/
and
sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart
according to the troubleshooting guide at http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/TroubleShooting

I think there is something fishy in the feisty setup which do not allow all users to rw these files.

I'm not sure if it works for a toshiba but I had the exact same problems on my new HP 6710b laptop with builtin audio.

Kindly

//Marcus
