Hi -
Is this above with model=acer-aspire *and* your additional verb? Or, is it without model option?
I tried it with model=acer (same as no forcing) and acer-aspire, I was able to play 2-channel PCM sounds OK only with the extra verb either way. I got more controls in alsamixer with just "acer" (like low frequency channel), but they didn't seem to do anything useful.
I found that one initialization is missing for auto-configuration mode of ALC889. Please try the patch below and remove model=xxx option.
OK I will test this patch later today with no model forcing.
Did you get any positive/negative result?
Sorry Takashi, I did try both patches but neither seemed to work. I didn't get any time since then to confirm it wasn't something dumb on my side. After failing to see anything from the recompile / re-install and modprobing snd-hda-intel out and back in, running hda-verb as described did continue to bring the audio right up.
I should check that the mixer VID/PID actually is ...889 on this machine.
