Hello Rob,
Did you ever get your sound working on this Toshiba? I have used the values listed in my BIOS as well and can not get it working.
I am answering your question in the list because
a) it may interest someone else
b) it is not denfinetly solved and perhaps we can discuss it again.
I got sound working on my laptop Toshiba Tecra8000DVD after asking to this
list several times, to SuSE installation support, and reading some of the
papers that are around about this laptop on linux.
Basically, what I added the following config at the end of my
/etc/modules.conf:
### Sound modules for YamahaOPL ###
alias char-major-14 opl3sa2
pre-install opl3sa2 modprobe "-k" ad1848
post-install opl3sa2 modprobe "-k" opl3
options opl3sa2 dma=1 dma2=0 io=0x538 irq=5 mpu_io=0x330 mss_io=0x530
options opl3 io=0x388
These values match with values I have in BIOS setup.
In kernel sound drivers must be active.
also in your /etc/rc.config you turn off your isapnp and alsa:
START_ISAPNP="no"
START_ALSA="no"
So far is ok. However... I can not use my sound car to record anything... and
I always get the following messages (/var/log/messages) everytime I start KDE:
