Realtek ALC272 not working in 9.04 but its working under 8.10

Bug Description

Hardware: Toshiba NB200 netbook (EU), same as Toshiba NB205 (USA) and Toshiba Dynabook UX (JP)

00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)
Subsystem: Toshiba America Info Systems Device ff6e
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 22
Memory at f0440000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2
Capabilities: [60] Message Signalled Interrupts: Mask- 64bit+ Queue=0/0 Enable-
Capabilities: [70] Express Root Complex Integrated Endpoint, MSI 00
Capabilities: [100] Virtual Channel <?>
Capabilities: [130] Root Complex Link <?>
Kernel driver in use: HDA Intel
Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel

Under Ubuntu 8.10 sound works without doing nothing.
Under Ubuntu 9.04 sound doesn't work by default. With alsamixer we can see that chip is Realtek ALC272.

Please use "ubuntu-bug alsa-base".

Sorry, I meant use "apport-collect -p alsa-base 389040".

Hi Guys:

Some member in Canonical U.S.A named Andres Salomon and Bill Filler may help you.
They help Toshiba NB200 notebook work well at UNR 1.01.
I remember familiar issue happend in UNR 1.01

I remember one guy from Canonical with a Dynabook UX or NB200 in the last UDS at Barcelona. I'll try to contact with them.

Thanks Tao.

I Have the same issue, I found one someone else blog (http://tjmcgrew.blogspot.com/2009/07/toshiba-nb205-part-2.html) that adding the following line to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf give sound thru the headphones jack (nothing from the speaker) :

options snd-hda-intel model=asus-mode4

Maybe this can help fix this issue.

The modprobe options suggested by Emmanuel by way of that blog seem to have worked for me. No sound out of the speakers, but via headphones it seems to be working well.
