Comments on: Sound on a Toshiba Tecra A8 with Ubuntu 7.10 http://goonanism.com/blog/2007/12/02/sound-on-a-toshiba-tecra-a8-with-ubuntu-710/ Between the spelling mistakes and typos on this web page, you'll find Goonanism. Not unrelated to the phrase "go onanism", Goonanism is my take on what ever I like it to be a take on - including Chuck Norris and Competitive Eating.

My headphone jack always worked, it was just the speakers that didn't. However the speakers would not mute when I plugged the headphones in - you have to do that manually so perhaps your solution is better than mine. Thanks for the info though.

The jack sense didn't work with the basic model when I was troubleshooting this issue (although I didn't add the other parameters). Instead, I used this line: options snd-hda-intel model=hippo The jack sense works properly so the speakers are muted when I plug in my headphones. Also, I can choose to unmute the speakers even with the headphones if I want to. Does the jack sense work with that option?
