No Sound in Linux Mint on Toshiba Portege M700

Asked by Junko77

Hi, I'm running Linux Mint on a Toshiba M700. I used to run Ubuntu and other flavors of Ubuntu, and Mandriva. With all of them I have had this problem. I have no sound. I've checked alsamixer and everything is at 100%. My master volume is also all the way up. Any suggestions?

You are in the wrong forum here, Junko77. Linux Mint is not Ubuntu.

Hi Junko77,

Please follow these instructions for the sound issue (and other possible Portege M700 issues as well):

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/ToshibaPortegeM700

In Ubuntu 8.04 and Ubuntu 8.10, the filename to edit is called /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base

In Ubuntu 9.04 and Linux Mint 7, the filename to edit is called /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

Regards,

Mark

Hey, don't worry about posting in the wrong place. The main thing is trying to get an answer that works. Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu and there might be some differences but most of the underlaying systems are likely to be pretty much identical. Mark's answers are usually spot-on and so this thread might help future Toshiba users suffering from this same problem in the future with Ubuntu ;) It all helps :)
Regards from
Tom :)

You're welcome :)
Welcome to linux-land :)
It would help us a bit if you could re-open this question and then click the button under Mark's answer that solved this. It's not easy to work out how to do this and doesn't matter hugely but if you can work it out then it'd be a help :)

Thank, good luck and regards from
Tom :)
