Hi  Mikkel,

Do you think Antonia have the same problem i encountered on my Acer 
TravelMate 6291 Laptop which also using Intel HDA

Sound problem on my Acer Laptop is solved by :
1. downloading dan installing ALSA driver I got from 
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/alsa/snapshot/driver/
2. adding model=toshiba to  /etc/modprobe.conf
         options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=toshiba
Even though my laptop is actually acer (not toshiba).
