Could you try to change the "External Amplifier" to "ON" (or unmute it, you can use the alsamixer command-line utility) and check any sound application?
Hello Stransky, Your suggestion worked perfectly. With external Amplifier set to on I could hear audio using system-config-soundcard and also on third party audio applications. However this seems strange since I work with several toshiba laptops with all kinds of different motherboards and audio cards and this was the only one requiring Ext Amp set to on. However the problem was solved and this case may now be considered closed. My best regards from Portugal, Pedro Madeira
Yeah, it's a known issue with this switch....
