Codec + Mixer: IDT 92HD99BXX - card 0: Generic [HD-Audio Generic], device 0: 92HD99BXX Analog [92HD99BXX Analog] - Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] FCH Azalia Controller 1022:780d (rev 01) - no sound output on TOSHIBA Satellite S50D-A in Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS

Asked by lfrlng on 2015-02-25

I've done a clean install of Ubuntu 14.04 on a new Toshiba Satellite S50D laptop, and sound is not working.

I've been through a number of other post on this topic but none of the solutions there have worked.

Microphone is working (via Skype other side could hear me), but not the speakers or headphones.

In alsamixer all looks good for the generic device (which I have set to be the default), but for the hdmi card shows only a single item "S/PDIF" with volume set to 0 and won't increase - not sure if this is the problem or if it's because there is nothing plugged into the hdmi slot.

Output from alsa-info is at http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=2847c946708b856c45d309a1d477cd6a3e711ea7
