Getting sound to work on Toshiba Tecra A10 running Fedora 10


I have recently purchased an A10, getting Fedora 10 working on it has been a little bit of a challenge. Some things were very straight forward and others are a total mystery.

The audio stuff has me baffled. The Intel drivers are loaded and no errors appear in any of the logs. The build in MIC works but I get no output from the built-in speakers or the headphone jack. I have googled around a bit and haven't found anything that might shed some light on what needs to be tweaked to get things to go.

I have found various references regarding Ubuntu on the A10 and the need to build alsa from source. The version of alsa in the Fedora 10 distro is ahead of that referred to in these articles so I don't haven't tried doing so.

Any pointers as to what to look for etc would be appreciated.

hi

since no-one has replied and I do not have your hw,

have you tried running a mixer app like
alsamixer

press m to mute or unmute your master, pcm, out controls
and press tab to scroll to each setting
press up or down arrows to adjust settings

or use a diff mixer...in kde try kmix

press escape in alsamixer to save settings

Hi,
I found the solution for the problem with audio chipset, only add the following lines on /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf :

# Lines for the ALC268 audio chipset can works.
options snd-cmipci mpu_port=0x330 fm_port=0x388
options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=toshiba position_fix=1

I hope this helps you!

Runs on Fedora10, OpenSuse10, Ubuntu 9.04 & much more!
