Audio problems on Toshiba Tecra M9 using Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy

Asked by sid

I have a Toshiba Tecra M9 and have 3 audio-related problems:
1. Inbuilt mic not working
2. Mic jack not working
3. Speaker jack works, but when I insert headphone, sound plays on the headphones and also on the laptop speakers. In typical use case, when a headphone jack in inserted the speaker output should go away.

I made the following changes:
- Added 'options snd-hda-intel model=toshiba' at the end of the alsa-base file
- Opened volume control and chose 'ALSA PCM on front 0: (ALC262 Analog) via DMA (PulseAudio Mixer)' under File->Change Device

This solved prob 2 but did not solve problems 1 and 3.

System Information:
Toshiba Tecra M9
Ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS (hardy)
Audio driver: Realtek ALC262

Any idea? Anything specific I can try on the alsamixer GUI?

Thanks...sid

The above solution is a patch for Skype to work. I did not try what happens to music files and I now realize that I have broken my media players!
Then the question is: Is there a setting that wokrs universally for media, Skype and others?

Thx...sid

Hi

I just work through all the steps in Medibuntu first
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu

and then if something still doesn't work then i would start working through these guides and hopefully something early in one of them would fix it
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting

However our sound expert in here is working on a new guide based on those 2 but hasn't had much time to sort the guide out yet. however, it might be worth having a look through
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure
especially since you seem to have gone far beyond the normal questions about sound that we get in here and really seem to know what you are doing.

I am just hoping that someone with more expertise than me pops in and is able to help later.

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

Can you help with this problem?
