So how should we act on those situations seen that we can't match against DMI data(which would possibly be crap on those laptops)?
We can check the codec SSID as well. If both PCI and codec SSID are identical, it's very likely that these are same models, but just a wrong model was chosen, or the model was changed during development and doesn't match properly any more.
This is the one which is reported to work well with model=toshiba:
PCI SSID: 152d:0763 Codec: Realtek ALC268 Codec SSID: 0x152d0763

This is the one reported at which is mapped to model=acer in 2007: https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=3343
