The appended has been moderating for a few weeks.
The funny thing is the other night I had 2.6.0-test11 playing sounds as clear as could be for a while. But it has since, after miscellaneous reonfigs and reboots, reverted to making scratchy noises only.
Getting toshiba specific acpi extensions, as in using the planet ccrma 2.4.2-6.ll.rh90 kernel, didn't solve the problem for me either. Perhaps SuSe tweaked the toshiba_acpi extensions?
But it seems likely, still, that the toshiba specific acpi may be banging bits in registers near or overlapping the ymfpci assignments, or that there's a power saver setting that semi-mutes the sound chip.
Hope this helps. I'll probably stumble through getting the alsa cvs version compiled in a day or two.

I was just checking on this, again, since I have yet another Tecra 8100 for Alsa to fail to work on. I see that there was a success back in July under 0.9.5 (kernel unspecified), but I'm running the planet ccrma alsa-driver-0.9.6-2 and there's still nothing but static coming out of the speakers here.
But, I also noticed the following post over at linuxquestions.org from 11-Nov-2003 which suggests that the problem is in the toshiba specific power mgmt. Apparently, on some current SuSe releases the Alsa driver works on the Tecra 8100 between the install and the first reboot, then produces static. Talk about your unrewarding bug to work on.
None of this helps me, I'm running kernel-2.4.20-20.1.caps.rh90 from planet ccrma, and there are no toshiba_acpi modules to be found.
Yet, I get the feeling that this bug may be reaching its expiration date.

Toshiba 8100 laptop sound on SuSE 9.0 ( post #6)
_It's interesting. Sound works properly after installation and before first boot. After that, sound is just crackles and clicks. Here is a solution for SuSE 9.0.
If you are good at the command line: Login as root. Edit the file /etc/sysconfig/powermanagement. Look for the line that starts with ACPI_MODULES. Change the line so that it says this: ACPI_MODULES="ac battery button fan processor thermal toshiba_acpi" Then exit, _save, and reboot.
Or if you prefer a GUI: Run the YaST2 program. Click on System in the left panel. Click on "Editor for /etc/sysconfig Files" in the right panel. In left panel of resulting Configuration Options screen, click to open up (make visible) System, Powermanagement, ACPI, General, ACPI_MODULES. In right panel replace Setting of: ACPI_MODULES to be: ac battery button fan processor thermal toshiba_acpi Then click Finish to close Configuration Options screen. Then click Close to close the YaST program.
Using either method, the only part of the settings that were missing for my Toshiba 8100 laptop was "toshiba_acpi".
I rebooted and the sound problems disappeared. IF FACT... the sound worked after initial installation and before first reboot, but even then it was pretty bad. Now the sound is quite good.
