[laptop-discuss] toshiba R500 - no sound anymore :(

[Sean McGrath - Sun Microsystems Ireland]

 I've a Toshiba Portege R500, installs solaris fine, runs very nicely.
 Except for the sound, kinda.

 It appears to have an Intel 82801G (ICH7 Family) HD Audio.

 Now, I had this laptop booted to windows before and afterwards the audio
 worked with the audiohd driver, not via pci8086,27d8 but via pciclass,0403
 in driver_aliases.

  Worked for a few weeks untill I booted windows again :(

 Now the audiohd driver complains about nto being able to reset the controller.

 Booting windows/linux again doesn't do anything for it either.  Sound works 
  on those two OSes but nowt on Solaris.
 
 OSS drivers don't work either.  They complain about a bad CORB size. [1]

 Any ideas ?
