Ok, I have Fedora 7 loaded on a Toshiba Satellite P100 (no exact model#-custom built) laptop with a x86_64 Core2 Duo T7200 processor and my sound card is Intel 82801G using a Conexant codec. Problem, no sound. I have unmuted everything. I have loaded the latest alsa dirvers (1.0.14). I have tried adding "options snd-hda-intel model=3stack" to my modprob.conf as many have suggested. I also tried Ubuntu 5.1 and Sabayon 3.3 and also had no sound. I think that I may have to rewrite / reload my DSDT file as per the following link (
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Toshiba_Satellite_P100) that claims my Conexant codec is not currently supported but I was hoping that someone might know an easier fix before I jump into this very complicated work-around.
----Quote from the above link--------------------------------
Bug: Kernels version 2.6.19 and lower and alsa-driver releases 1.0.13 and lower do not support the Conexant codec used in these notebooks
The Conexant codec used by these notebooks is not supported by the version of alsa in the kernel (as of kernel 2.6.19) or the 1.0.13 alsa-driver release. There is a work in progress and possibly unstable patch under development - [[4]]. This patch has been included in the alsa development repository and was tested as working with a Satellite P100 PSPA6A-01JO17 on 26th November, 2006.
----end quote-----------------------------------------------
And this link (
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=122145) explains the procedure to build, load, and run a custom DSDT. I am not looking forward to trying this at all....someone please tell me it's not my DSDT and offer me an easier fix! PLEASE. I just want sound and I am willing to make sacrifices for an easier fix.
Thanks,
