Sound troubles on Toshiba laptop
A friend of mine has a Toshiba laptop which has been running Ubuntu 10.04 successfully. We have just installed Ubuntu 12.04 on it, 32 bit version, and we cannot get sound functioning. The machine is a Toshiba M115-S1064. Have already tried alsamixer with no luck. Where to from here? Bob Parker

Solved now. Added the following line to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf options snd-hda-codec-realtek index=-2

Is the card detected properly? aplay -l should show you which audio devices are found. Alsamixer (or its command line equivalent, amixer) are often the solution, but the correct control to change isn't always obvious - it wasn't obvious on my Lenovo laptop - a friend with similar hardware logged in over ssh and managed to get it to work. You mentioned using Ubuntu, which runs Pulse Audio by default. This complicates the audio configuration substantially. If you need to modify volume settings in Pulse Audio, pactl appears to be the relevant command (and whatever desktop environment is running presumably has appropriate controls as well).

I replied to myself earlier with the solution which was to add a line to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf Never had heard of aplay so it's good to learn a new command. Alsamixer (or its command line equivalent, amixer) are often the solution, but the correct control to change isn't always obvious - it wasn't obvious on my Lenovo laptop - a friend with similar hardware logged in over ssh and managed to get it to work.

If you need to modify volume settings in Pulse Audio, pactl appears to be the relevant command (and whatever desktop environment is running presumably has appropriate controls as well). Pulse Audio does seem to be doing it's designed job the last few editions. It had been a total pia some time ago. _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list luv-main@luv.asn.au http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main -- The healthy eating pyramid as published by the USDA and it's satellites all over the world is purposely designed to bring about an epidemic of obesity, hypertension and diabetes.
