Problem at hand :
Alsa driver intel_hd on feisty kernels 2.6.20-11/12 recognize the sound card and possible the correct codec but no audio is heard via speakers. All volumes are turned up to 100% and unmuted. gnome volume controls are all active as well as alsamixer. the card is identified as HDA Intel / Realtek ALC861VD "oss".
a few quirks though:
ubuntu feisty herd 5 2.6.20-9/10* kernel works fine**. The card is HDA Intel/ Realteck ID 862 "oss" and plays audio fine.
*2.6.20-10 sound volume is about half of what is able in 2.6.20-9 but it works
**problem is there is no headphone selection for the device
Steps to reproduce
Boot into any 2.6.10-11+ update kernel.
it is on a toshiba a134 series laptop.
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)
