Hi,

My sound problem on ACER TravelMate 6291-100512 has been solved.

Here are steps I did:
1. I downloaded ALSA driver:
    alsa-driver-hg20070817.tar.bz2
    from  ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/alsa/snapshot/driver/
2. compiled dan installed the driver
3. added the follow line to /etc/modprobe.conf
    options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=toshiba

I tried to add the following line to /etc/modprobe.conf
   options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=acer
but it did not work. It works when I changed the model name  to
   model=thosiba

Thanks to Nigel & Mikkel that gave me hints.
