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.
