Ah, I see.

Thank you. Also, it would be useful for this model to add mixer controls
for retasking pins, as you did with Fujitsu model. That would hopefully
allow to quickly test what pins are connected to what jacks/hardware
(i.e., one could connect external speakers/headphones to all sound jacks
first). And the naming of controls - I suppose these should either be
named the way Paulo has named them (0x08 Volume, for example), or
similar to what they are marked in Realtek datasheet. That would make
things even easier for you developers to add new models based on user input.

BTW the notebook i'm having this problem with is an Acer Travelmate 4060
series, like Paulo's (but 4061 in my case), so I could help you
test/debug the Acer model specifics. Don't hesitate to contact me
regarding this.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Rimas
