I found this fix and it worked on the Toshiba Satellite L655D-S5066 Easiest way:
Open a terminal.
Type:
gksu gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
Press enter and it will ask for your password.
In gedit, add:
options snd-hda-intel model=ideapad
to the bottom of the file and save it. Be very careful not to change anything else, this instance of gedit is running with superuser permissions and you could damage your installation.
You’ll need to reboot for the changes to take effect.

I believe external speakers are disabled by default. Open up terminal and enter
sudo apt-get install gnome-alsamixer
Then enable headphones/external speakers.
