Summary:                    No Sound on Acer with Intel ICH6 HDA and Realtek
ALC260
Description: 
I can load the snd-hda-intel module and play a file via aplay or xmms or
play a cd without any error, but I cannot hear anything neither via the
build-in speakers nor via headphones. All volume controllers are at 70%
and unmuted, except for PCM, because there is no mute/unmute-button.

Specify "model=fujitsu" module option with ALSA 1.0.11rc2 or CVS.

I tried CVS and the 1.0.11rc2-version. Nothing new here:

[4300394.183000] ALSA
/home/robert/Desktop/alsa-driver-1.0.11rc2/pci/hda/../../alsa-kernel/pci/hda/patch_realtek.c:3030:
hda_codec: Unknown model for ALC260

So I edited a bit in alsa-kernel/pci/hda/patch_realtek.c:

------------
        /*if (board_config < 0 || board_config >= ALC260_MODEL_LAST) {
                snd_printd(KERN_INFO "hda_codec: Unknown model for
ALC260\n");
                board_config = ALC260_AUTO;
        }

        if (board_config == ALC260_AUTO) {
                * automatic parse from the BIOS config *
                err = alc260_parse_auto_config(codec);
                if (err < 0) {
                        alc_free(codec);
                        return err;
                } else if (! err) {
                        printk(KERN_INFO "hda_codec: Cannot set up
configuration from BIOS.  Using base mode...\n");
                        board_config = ALC260_BASIC;
                }
        }*/
        board_config = ALC260_FUJITSU_S702X;
----------
This are lines 3029 until 3045

With this litte changes, I have soundoutput on the line-out-jack
(controlled in alsamixer with 'headphones') and of course no warning in
dmesg. But I still have no sound through the internal speakers or the
headphones-jack.
