Hi Brian, Chris and rest of the crowd I successfully got the sound working in my Gutsy machine thanks to incredible amount of support from Brian and Chris , who patiently responded to all of the questions posted by this noob. Now I will try to put together a how to. I tried installing in my feisty machine but I was unsucessful.
Laptop Toshiba A205-S4577 Distribution: Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) Kernel: 2.6.22-8-generic Date of last updates: 18th July 2007 Packages needed before installing new ALSA Drivers : build-essential libncurses4 libncurses5 libncurses5-dev ( I am not very sure which one worked) 1)Download alsa-drivers, alsa-firware, alsa-lib, alsa-util version 1.0.14 from ALSA.org and extract it into a directory named ALSA in desktop or your home 2) Replace patch_realtek.c and hda_proc.c in the ~ALSA/alsa-driver-1.0.14/alsa-kernel/pci/hda with the new files (I am attaching both) 3) Then do sudo ./configure sudo make and sudo make install in the following folders according to the order specified (order is important) ALSA lib , ALSA utils ALSA firmware and lastly ALSA drivers. hopefully you will see no errors. 4) restart Unmute the mixers see the following link for how the mixer will look like http://bayimg.com/caEJMAaBB the headphones channel would control the external speakers and line in channel will (unfortunately/fortunately) control the inbuilt speakers. I am extremely happy thanks to Chris Cheney and Brian Mount once again. I think I am going to freeze all updates till this gets patched in repository. Good night and enjoy. Cheers!
