I notice a bug Ubuntu thread here on this (for the Toshiba 135):
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...20/+bug/109838
where the option "lenovo" worked for some, but not all, users.

It will be interesting to see what the openSUSE/alsa packager/dev comes up with in response to your bug report.

Further to that, I notice on the openSUSE HCL that 2 of the 4 users reported this problem (or something similar): HCL/Laptops/Toshiba - openSUSE
none of them reference a bug report, so its possible none of them raised such a bug report.

if i had some 'more' time to spare i would have tried the C file patch that he has attached (in the ubuntu link u mentioned).

Yes, for them lenovo worked, but does not pick here.

I have not yet heard from the 'suse debuggers', but i keep my fingers crossed !

In the bug report, don't forget to change the "flag" in the bug report to info provided. You do that by checking: " This comment provides the needed information. Remove the status of NEEDINFO from this bug. "

If you do not do that, the alsa dev may not pick up on the fact that the info they requested has been provided.

Ok, thanks, they should ve mentioned it more explicitly for me to notice ! anyways done.

[xizzling]

OK, finally i have been able to make them work by the same lenovo option !!

Bugzilla debuggers surely help i suppose!

P.S: I have figured out through:

arecord -d 10 myrecording.wav

that my mic ain't working either! i have checked my mixer settings and boosted them to full, so much that i can almost hear my fingers typing they keys through my speakers ! I have the suggestions you posted online, but how about my current lenovo settings???

Glad to read its working. Probably it was working all along if you had typed the syntax correctly with the "lenovo" option. I know I provided the correct syntax above. But I think that reflects a deficiency with forum based support, as opposed to having a friend come over to help. There is no one to lean over one's shoulder, point out and say "hey, your syntax is wrong" and unless one explains to the person trying to help exactly what syntax was used, there is no way for the person helping to pick up the bad syntax.

Does this mean your mic works?

You will need to restate your problem because I do not understand what you are stating.

In one sentence you state you figured out your mic.

In the next sentence you state it does not work.

[xizzling]

well i just started another thread for the mic problem.. stating explicitly the problem !

Thanks for all the help.

As for 'lenovo' option, its kindof 'unstable', in the sense that when i rebooted, suddenly the speaker & headphone both were uttering sound again.. until i replugged my headphone !
But anyways, some respite is there with headphone working at other times..
BTW, exactly the same thing happened when i was testing under your guidance, with headphone working once and suddenly it both started working, so i switched onto another one (and my syntax was correct!)

Anyways, i hope the debuggers should do something about it !

IMHO if you wish to help the developers, you need to run the script when you headphones are not working properly, like you just described.

... and you need to run the script when its working properly, like you described, and then provide both script outputs to the developers so they can see the difference and understand the problem.

Ok, ill run the script, the next time i find it not working properly
