Since about an hour I have a new problem: no sound at all! It happened
before I had the chance to change any options. Now I've appended
"model=toshiba" (as suggested elsewhere) but it didn't help. However, I
noticed that alsamixer doesn't show a control for the "Master" device
(only PCM, Mic and Beep). And it also doesn't show any "Capture" devices
(this is independent of the "model" option) although they seem to exist:

a...@andicompi:~$ cat /proc/asound/devices 
  2:        : timer
  3:        : sequencer
  4: [ 0- 0]: digital audio playback
  5: [ 0- 0]: digital audio capture
  6: [ 0- 6]: digital audio playback
  7: [ 0- 6]: digital audio capture
  8: [ 0]   : control

a...@andicompi:~$ cat /proc/asound/cards 
 0 [SB             ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI SB
                      HDA ATI SB at 0xd0000000 irq 16

And I also noticed two devices called "Caller1" and "Off-hook" that
remind me of a modem. There is indeed a modem built into this laptop and
"cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#0" shows this:

Codec: LSI Si3054
Address: 0
Function Id: 0x2
Vendor Id: 0x11c13026
Subsystem Id: 0x11790001
Revision Id: 0x100700
Modem Function Group: 0x1

The ALC861 is in "codec#3".

@Daniel : I also have that "switching to single_cmd" error in my dmesg
now. Is there an option to choose the codec slot or interrupt? I
searched the ALSA documentation but found only the "index" and
"probe_mask" options that seem to be related to this problem. If you'd
tell me which options I should try I would post my results! Currently,
my alsa-base.conf looks like this:

# Prevent abnormal drivers from grabbing index 0
options bt87x index=-2
options cx88_alsa index=-2
options saa7134-alsa index=-2
options snd-atiixp-modem index=-2
options snd-intel8x0m index=-2
options snd-via82xx-modem index=-2
options snd-usb-audio index=-2
options snd-usb-us122l index=-2

options snd-usb-caiaq index=-2
# Ubuntu #62691, enable MPU for snd-cmipci

options snd-pcsp index=-2
# Power down HDA controllers after 10 idle seconds
options snd-hda-intel power_save=10 
options snd-hda-intel model=toshiba
