Hi guys,
This is a second post about installing Gentoo on a Toshiba Satellite M45-SP351. I've manage to get almost all possible stuff to work, except for the Sound. It's something very wired, I really getting tired and sad about this.
I'm using the gentoo kernel 2.6.12-gentoo-r4, and media-sound/alsa-driver-1.0.9b. I tried to install gentoo in this equipment previously, but I reinstall everything because I was not able to get the sound working. The sound card, as reported by lspci is:
| Code: |
0000:00:1e.2 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 04)
|
; which uses intel8x0 driver.
A checkpoint of I have done is:
o Install alsa-driver
o Install alsa-utils
o Configure using alsaconf
o I have unmuted the sound channels!!!
I have no errors, all modules are loaded OK, messages log doesn't show no error message about the card, alsasound init script loads perfectly, I did the test using cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp, and no error in any place.... but there's no sound 
Other hint: I tried booting the laptop using the UbuntuLive CD 5.04, everything wents fine with video, problems with network, but.... Sound works terrific!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm really starting to think about a hardware problem, but, why is it working in ubuntu??
I'm tired, I'm looking for someone else having more or less the same problem, to share ideas...
Thanks everyone.... |

This issue is very strange, but your advice really helped me! So I'm posting the answer here for other people. Using alsamixer the channels "Headphone Jack Sense" and the "Line Jack Sense" MUST BE MUTED!! Once I muted those channels, everything worked fine! As the comment for the kernel bug says, this seems to be an issue for the intel8x0 driver.
Now I'm using the kernel's driver, I have unmerged the alsa-driver and everything goes ok.
Thanks again blurp  . |

no problem. 
I had the same problem after upgrading the kernel. Tried to re-emerge every alsa-related stuff and found the solution (that pointed me to the kernel bug thing) in some of the "announcements" after an emerge.
I guess it pays to read the verbose text... |
