I followed this set of  instructions....actually I wrote directly in
modprobe.conf the option model=acer, that is not added at boot

# yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
# yum install mercurial
# cd /usr/src

# mkdir alsa && cd alsa
# hg clone http://hg-mirror.alsa-project.org/alsa-driver alsa-driver
# cd alsa-driver
# hg clone
http://hg-mirror.alsa-project.org/alsa-kernel alsa-kernel
# ./hgcompile && make install
# echo options snd-hda-intel model=3stack > /etc/modprobe.d/sound
# reboot (to make sure it sticks, or if the test before didn't work)
