UPDATE:
Problem solved.
i tested several big distros the last days and weeks on that toshiba
r500 12p notebook / netbook without any luck or sound. so today i
decided to temporarily reinstall windows 7 to try out sound there and
see if i can unlock or unmute the sound. even with the original
i dont know what you are talking about. the volume knob i am talking
about is a physical controll wheel on the toshiba portege R500-12P Model
PPR50E-06W09QGR notebook or netbook.
in the meanwhile since my report i tested MANY more linux distros.
ubuntu up to 16, mint, arch, debian 8 . If the
** Attachment added: "this is the DSDT of this toshiba notebook running debian
8"
