[Feisty] Very low volume on Toshiba satellite a100-155

Same problem on a Toshiba Satellite A100-335 with Realtek ALC861.

Solved(?) this problem on another Toshiba Staellite A100-SK4 (PSAA8C-SK400E)
by following most of the directions here:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto

However, contrary to that document, this is the entry that I appended to
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base to get the sound to work properly:

options snd-hda-intel model=auto

The sound now seems to be working. At least it has over the past
two reboots.

It works on Toshiba Satellite A105-S4074. There is no even need to
perform steps described in howto. This option (options snd-hda-intel
model=auto) works really fine.

Hello,

I've got a Toshiba A100 335-> same problem for me.
I've solved it with "options snd-hda-intel model=auto" in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base too :)

thanks a lot tomcat ! bye

Same here,

Toshiba A100-317, "options snd-hda-intel model=auto" in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base did the trick for me too.

Kudos to Tomcat!

Eros (who had hoped Feisty would work out of the box... :-( )

Had the same problem with Toshiba A100 .
Adding "options snd-hda-intel model=auto" in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base helped solve it. Thank you all.

It is little disappointing to know that Ubuntu was shipped with a 1 month old bug. :(

Here, same laptop, same issue, and same solution give the same resulsts :)

It works like a charm, if you add "options snd-hda-intel model=auto" to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base

Toshiba Satellite Pro A100-921
+1 (same issue, same solution)

After installing FF on a Toshiba Satellite A105-S4344, I had the same low audio. I simply added that one line and restarted, then it worked, even after several restarts. No other systems on the computer seem to be affected by it.

I had extremely low/absent sound on my Toshiba A105-S4134.
Upgrading the alsa drivers to the most recent version made the sound work some of the time.

however, adding 'options snd-hda-intel model=auto' to my /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base made the sound work perfectly.

Thanks a million for the workaround! The changelogs for the latest alsa drivers (1.0.14rc4) mention fixing compatibility issues with Toshiba A100s, so it seems like they are working on it...

The line:

options snd-hda-intel model=auto

did not work on my toshiba p105-s9337 laptop, nor did, as mentioned in other places, changing "auto" to "3stack"

I still have very very low sound.

I will gladly provide any information you need to help fix this.

lol. sound is fine. I just turned up the volume wheel on the front of the laptop.

I have this same problem on my Thinkpad R50e laptop, with the Intel 82801DB sound
card (it uses the module snd-intel8x0) in Ubuntu 7.04.
Everything looks fine with the sound, and xmms starts playing the songs fine and
doesn't complain anything, but the sound is inaudible.

I have tried to use OSS instead by using the OSS plugin in xmms and somehow
I managed to use the /dev/dsp device instead of using alsa, and xmms played
the song without errors but the sound couldn't be heard.

So I was thinking that maybe the ubuntu kernel developers had done something wrong with
the 2.6.20-15-generic, and then I got the vanilla 2.6.19 kernel source, compiled it with
the config I had before (which worked fine on my previous mandriva distro) and the problem
continued! And this 2.6.19 kernel has everything related to my soundcard compiled in, so it is not an issue with ubuntu loading the modules with wrong options.

After using the same old working kernel I had in this machine and getting the same problem with the inaudible sound, I don't know what else to do! I even loaded the mandriva 2006 live cd to check that it was not my soundcard failure, but the sound worked fine.

So it looks like Ubuntu 7.04 mutes the sound somehow and fools alsamixer to think that the sound is not muted! I don't know what to do anymore.
This is the first time I send a bug report and I am willing to perform any tests I am told to do.

I found out a workaround for my case! It consists of muting everything in alsamixer except Master, PCM and Externel Amplifier. The strange thing is that the microfone works even when it is muted. And it never stopped working, because when I first discovered this bug I recorded my voice with arecord. I couldn' t hear it back them, but now I listened that file and my voice is there.

I could try to randomly start unmuting the channels to check what is the first one which reveals the bug, but I've lost my weekend already and now I have no time left :-(

Same problem here running Gutsy, kernel 2.6.22.6.5

The solution proposed fixed it.

With my Toshiba Satellite A100-P543 worked also the solution adding "options snd-hda-intel model=auto" ,

I have kernel 2.6.20-15-generic , I would suggest kernel people to fix for most of the Toshiba Satellite A100 laptops, probably they are using the same Sound chipset.

Hi ,
I am also facing the same problem. But my laptop is HP Compaq nx6115. The sound card is ATI IXP.
Can anyone tell me what should I add instead of 'options snd-hda-intel model=auto' .

Any kind of help would be great appreciated.

Toshiba Sat. A105 S4054
Realtek ALC861
Same low volume problem
Used above solution 'options snd-hda-intel model=auto'
No more problem.

Very Happy!

I have a toshiba satellite a105 s4004 laptop with Realtek ALC861. I have the same issue as everyone else and the 'options snd-hda-intel model=auto' solution described above worked for me.

Great job guys!! I've fixed the problem in my Satellite A100-117 with options snd-hda-intel model=auto

Thanks to everybody.

I'm running hardy now and the bug seems fixed without the need of adding that line. On gutsy the line fixed the problem.

Fantastic! Thanks for testing hardy.

I had Gutsy and never bothered to look up the fix to this problem. When I upgraded to Hardy Beta, the sound worked beautifully. I changed my kernel from 2.6.22-12 to 2.6.22-14 and it went back to the old problem. Not sure if that's what caused it, but that's the only variable I can think of between it working and not. Anyway, I applied the line "options snd-hda-intel model=auto" to the file, and it works fine again.

Thanks!!!
