Asked by Tandelyr

After upgrading to Ubuntu 9.10, the sound card in my Toshiba Satellite A105 stopped working. I've tried using the sound mixer and ALSA mixer, but to no avail. I've also tried various fixes found on support forums, but none have produced results.

The follow is from steps 3 & 4 of the trouble shooting:

Your output from step 4 shows the issue your pc is having:

/dev/snd/controlC0: Slmodemd 1232 F.... slmodemd

Your Si3054 Modem is hogging the /dev/snd devices, which is preventing your soundcard from working correctly.

Please try this solution:

which mentions this bug:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/394500/comments/40

So you need to disable the Si3054 Modem (56k modem) via System/Administration/Hardware drivers

I've spent almost a week trying to fix this and it only took me 30 seconds to do this. Thank you very much!
