Hey, when i first installed alsa to my laptop, there no sound from subwoofer, jacks were map very strange (2 surrounds for ex.). I try all models from the list, but all don't support my subwoofer. After a weak of hard work i made a patch that enables ACER_ASPIRE_7730G model for my laptop. It have ALC888S, 3 jacks, 6 channels, stereo internal frontal speakers and internal subwoofer.You can see acer.com for more info about hardware and jacks.
It's the changes i made to /alsa-kernel/pci/hda/patch_realtek.c:
Can you try Emilio's patch recently posted (and pass model=acer-aspire-6530g) with the very latest alsa-driver-snapshot? This essentially includes your changes.

After changing file i install driver, and it automatically detect its model (maybe there are old settings from previous install, so i dont 100% sure that it was detected). With this settings subwoofer works perfect, internal stereo and subwoofer mute when headphone are plugged all works, except 1 thing: subwoofer uses center channel instead LFE. To fix it i use such asound.conf file:
...
Is there any chance to swap Center and LFE in patch_realtek.c?
Unlikely as ALC888* doesn't support the channel-swap feature (although some other ALC codecs do).
thanks,

You are talking about that http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2009-June/018815.html ?? Its right link to drivers http://www.alsa-project.org/snapshot/ ?? And there is easier way to apply patches than manually adding strings to files?
I manage with installing. I use alsa-driver-snapshot.tar.gz http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/alsa/alsa-driver/ and this Amilo changes http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2009-June/018815.html . But this patch has smaller functionality against i have. There is advantages and disadvantages of both patches:
My patch:
- when black jack plugged, internal speakers and subwoofer mute
- there is 3 maps for jacks: (black/pink/blue) 2ch: front/ext mic/
(something i dont know, it should be line in), 4ch: front/ ext mic/ side 6ch: front/ CLFE / side; (its changes in channel mode option in mixer)
- internal mic works
- there are separate boost mic channels for internal and external mics
- internal subwoofer controls with Center channel in mixer
? 6) i dont know how line in works (i will check it when reinstall to my patch) ? 7) i dont know how spdif works, because i have not any spdif speakers in house
Amilo patch:
- when black jack pluged, only internal speaker mutes, subwoofer
continue to work (it has no meaning when i listen to music in headphones)
I posted a new patch some time ago, can you try it?
- there is only 1 map for jacks: front/ext mic/ (something i dont
know, it should be line in)
My laptop, Aspire 6930, has a black jack (headphones), a pink one (external mic) and a light blue one (line in). What's the difference with your laptop?
- there no side and center channels
Subwoofer is LFE, the other speaker is Front. Is any other speaker missing?
- internal mic dont work
It works here, did you choose "Int mic" and raised the volume to max?
- there no line in in input source menu in mixer
- Subwoofer controls with LFE channel in mixer
? 7) i dont know how spdif works, because i have not any spdif speakers in house
Same here, unfortunately.
BTW, I'm Emilio, with "E" hehe
