Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) on Toshiba L35-S1054

My sound problems, along with EVERYONE elses still have yet to be solved. I assure I will have a COMPLETE step-by-step approach for the fix when someone does decide to support this problem. I'm still on my feet people.

Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty) Toshiba Sound Problems

So I recently installed Feisty on my Toshiba Satellite L35-S1054 laptop and everything went perfectly smooth; like cutting butter. Until I decided to crank up the volume while attempting to listen to some 311. Ubuntu detected my card obviously, ALSA seemed as is SHOULD be working... LSPCI?
Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SB450 HDA Audio
Perfect... Not. Still no sound whatsoever. So I opened up Firefox and typed in some specs and did a large ammount of research. I found tons of Ubuntu users with the same problem, but it was almost like it was ignored, by the whole community. Simply no solution.

So I join the IRC channel on freenode, and give them my two sense. For two weeks. Finally, tonight, as I'm typing this blog, crimsun, being the good man he is took a little time off his work day to fix the one-line problem in the kernel. The update will be available just as soon as the new kernel is released, after updating and running the command below, sound should be working on my otherwise amazing install of Feisty.
sudo modprobe -r snd_hda_intel && modprobe snd_hda_intel model=auto
