[SOLVED] No sound, Znote 6024W (Realtek ALC268)

[iamnew]

Great! you made my day when i was about to give up on this laptop

I found this thread after I fixed the problem om my Znote 3415w. I was helped by the excellent instructions on this link:
http://atlas.hasselbalch.com/znote6625wd/

I can't really tell if the same information is already in the thread or not.
(When following the link, note that I had to restart the computer for the changes to take effect.)

Worked for me but I still have sound on the speakers and headphones at the same time, low volume on the speakers and a lot of noise

Hardware: Toshiba A200-1SX

This fix seems to be redundant in Hardy since we're using pulseaudio, and there is no /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ubuntu/media/snd-hda-intel/snd-hda-intel.ko directory.

Right click on the speaker icon on the top taskbar.

Choose Open Volume Control
Click on Edit / Preferences
Select all the options to so they display in Alsamixer

Then back in the Volume Control you should be able to mute the speakers or headphones etc.
Best wishes.

First post! Yay!
I got myself a new laptop, and deleted the Vista partition to install Gutsy 7.10
I have the same soundchip (Realtek ALC268 ) AND the same soundboard, and still have the same problem... No sound anywhere, no error messages, even though I installed the latest ALSA driver just a couple of minutes ago (Version 1.0.16).
I get the "ALSA channels muted by default" message, but the ALSAmixer shows that they are not muted, and I cannot find some conf file where this setting is stored... Any ideas?
Does the brand of the Laptop matter or just the sound chip model?

No need after all! I compiled the Realtek Linux driver as said here and everything worked just fine!
Remember! Before you follow the instruction, kill any application using the sound card!

Has anyone tried a freash install of Hardy Heron, and cheked if that could fix it?

I might to this later.

Many thanks for the tip, you made my day!!!!!!!

I found small details using ubuntu 8.04 in a Toshiba satellite:
I downloaded the last version of alsa-driver (alsa-driver-1.0.16.tar.bz2) in my desktop, with a terminal I went to desktop and typed:

tar -xf alsa-driver-1.0.16.tar.bz2

after that a folder was created and then I wrote (without.bz2):

cd alsa-driver-1.0.16.tar
./configure --with-cards=hda-intel
make
sudo make install

After that I typed

gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
add the line "options snd-hda-intel model=toshiba"

I got a message that I didn't have enough permissions to do the change, so I modified alsa-base file permissions following the next link: http://www.linuxcommand.org/lts0070.php

I re-started the computer

and in System/Preferences/Sound I select ALSA for all the events and HDA Intel (Alsa mixer)

Have a great day!!!
