Hi Antonio,

Did you add option=toshiba or model=toshiba  to  /etc/modprobe.conf  ? On my 
acer, I added manually below line (using text editor) to /etc/modprobe.conf
         options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=toshiba

I don't know rpm driver (I am sure that other users in this list know better 
than me). The way that I know to make my sound working only to do below 
steps (with gcc installed on my system):
1. extract alsa-driver-hg20070817.tar.bz2 ( downloaded from 
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/alsa/snapshot/driver/ )
    It must be newer version for this driver. This driver contains patch for 
Realtek.
2. read INSTALL file in alsa-driver-hg20070817 directory and run these 
commands (the last command needs root privilege):
    ./configure
    make
    make install
3. add the following line (add model=toshiba) manually using text editor to 
my /etc/modprobe.conf
    options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=toshiba
4. reboot my system
5. raising speaker volume using alsamixer and testing my sound.

That's all that I know.
