Hello cool_abhi89

Can you please upload some screen shots of the Mixer preferences for me.
From right click on the speaker and the preferences and one more thing.
Did you un install the 2 packages of Pulse Audio?
Pulse Audio.
Pulse Audio Gstreamer.
Then Restart your machine and tell me what's new there.

Amir here are the scrn shots of the mixer prefs.

I just realized that that the mixer prefs screen shots were supose to be uploaded by cool_abhi89! but here are mine also I un-installed pulse audio and gstreamer re-booted and still no go?

I found a solution that worked for me on the ubuntu board:

Re: Toshiba Satellite A135-S4487 - First (Rather Strange) Audio Problem

I have Toshiba A135-S4666 laptop and had the same headphone issue in Hardy and Intrepid. The following modification fixed the headphones in both instances:

First make a backup of your alsa-base file in case something goes wrong you can always revert back to the original.
Code:
sudo cp /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.backup
Next edit your alsa-base file:
Code:
gksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
then scroll to the bottom and add the following line..
Code:
options snd-hda-intel model=lenovo
Save the file and then reboot. My headphones worked fine after adding that line.

Now, if this does not work on the S4487, the model=lenovo line may need to be slightly different. If this does not work for you, let me know and I will try and dig up the site that has a list of alternatives.

Hope this helps,
Metol

Note: Some files were not found but continue editing the main thing is to add the option line to the alsa-base file which in my case was blank so I just added the line and saved the file and rebooted.

i did every posssible thing as told by Amir...but still of no use to mah useless lapy who does not seem to detect the audio jack!!!!
