I'm glad to hear that 2.6.23 is working well for you. With kernel 2.6.23 or later, please append "acpi_osi=Linux" to the boot command line to see if that has any change with and without. Others Toshiba models had sound issues with acpi_osi=Linux, so you might confirm that works in both cases. Your box may potentially have an issue with SATA power states -- which you might notice when you suspend or hibernate. (below) thanks, -Len > > > On Saturday 17 November 2007 13:06, W.
