Let me guess - I've had this on my wifes Toshiba satellite - the volume knob has been turned down - the most common question at the Toshiba support the guy said - and I felt pretty stupid :)
It's probably at the front

Check your mixer settings, check the preferences, really make sure you've clicked your way through every stupid sub-menu the volume mixer program has ..... Chances are that a channel is missing from your settings. I had the same problem on my HP laptop: There is a channel "PCM" which was enabled and turned on. And despite it being at max I could barely hear anything. After a lot of clicking I found out that I have another channel "PCM2" which didn't show up per default. And guess what: Enabling it to show up in the volume controls and turning that one to the max too all of a sudden gave me decent sound levels. Take a look as I said above. Chances are there could be something similar on your machine too ....

Nope, that doesn't work... it's already set at 100%, this can be checked by decreasing it - the sound becomes even quieter and then inaudible.

The solution is easy, though:
Add "options snd-hda-intel model=auto" to the bottom of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base and reboot

Here is the bug report

(Judging by the replies, this same problem happens to all Toshiba Satellites)

Solved?

Has this fix been integrated into some sort of upgrade, or will at least be in the next version of Linux Mint?

Because I don't consider making users of one of the most common laptops (and possible other computers) to Google up the answer or sift through these boards to be a viable solution.

Most of the problem lies with Feisty, since this bug existed months before that was released, but still...

And yes there were to many oddities with Feisty
