It's still not completely solved. I am running Mint 13 Maya:

Problem A) as saepia said - one has to manually add "options snd-hda-
intel ..." and do some "alsa force-reload" or restart to fix the "1.
speaker ->2. headphone insertion ->3. speaker-not-working-anymore" issue

Problem B) but still the "Speaker" volume 0% <= Ss1 <= 100% of 1. is not
remembered, but instead it goes to 100% on 3.

Problem C) and the "Speaker" volume (curiously adjusting the headphone
volume as well) 0% <= Sh2 <= 100% of 2. is not remembered on "->4.
headphone insertion"

=> it seems the logical<->physical relationship between the "Soundcard
elements": "Speaker" and "PCM" is not correctly mapped by the driver:

State X) currently:

State Xs) no headphone inserted: "Speaker", "PCM" and "Master" add up to the 
resulting volume of the notebook speakers VS
      => thus 3. is actually quite bad here since it may significantly increase 
speaker volume VS3 in opposition to VS1  (=VS3-(1-Ss1))

State Xh) headphone inserted: "Speaker", "PCM" and "Master" add up to the 
resulting volume of the headphone VH
      => thus 2./4. are actually quite bad here since they may significantly 
lower the headphone volume VH2/VH4  (VH4=VH2-Sh2)

=>
Solution Y1) driver behaviour should be: B and C "Speaker" volume should not be 
touched at all on headphone insertion/removal, which would also eliminate the 
problem of the "remembering of the speaker/headphone volume"

maybe some existing "model=???" other than "auto" may already do Y1 ...
if I find time I'll play with this

Title:
  [TOSHIBA NB100, Realtek ALC262, Green Headphone Out, Rear] volume
  slider problem

Status in “alsa-driver” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I am using Toshiba NB100 Ubuntu Certified netbook. The sound works
  fine in general but if I plug in a jack it disappears. If I go to
  alsamixer I can see that the Speaker fader is down, so, if I move it
  up again, the sound appears in the headphones. But if I unplug the
  jack and plug it in again, the fader instantly goes down again and the
  sound disappears. This is a regression that prevents me from using
  Oneiric full time now. I've shown what happens after I plug in the
  jack on the attached screenshot.
