I have two Acer laptops and both have sound configured and working using
alsaconf, have you tried it?

A hundred times. It says ALSA is ready to use, and wishes me a lot of
fun. As long as it's happy...
In fact the link given earlier in the thread to
http://newbiedoc.berlios.de/wiki/Sound_in_Debian_GNU/Linux
says:
Alsaconf is so buggy that it is best not to use it at the moment
(according to [bug no 432678]).

You now have to use udevtrigger instead of alsaconf.

But that did nothing useful either as far as I could tell.

Mine is an Acer Aspire 1640Z, FWIW.

What happens if you run "speaker-test", do you get an error message or
is it just not producing any sound?
