My TP600E showed

I started with Mdk 8.2 and now 9. I have always had trouble with sound.
The cs46xx driver never worked and cs4232 would run CD's not xmms.

I read somewhere that the aRtserver could cause problems in KDE.I turned
it off in KDEcc. Then ran sound config but always replied no to the test
sound query until I had tried all drivers in the list.Several of them
worked but the best was the ACER notebook driver

# cat /etc/modules.conf

probeall usb-interface usb-uhci
above snd-cs4232 snd-pcm-oss
options cs4232 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0 mpuio=0x330 mpuirq=9
alias sound-slot-0 sb
options sound dmabuf=1
alias synth0 opl3
options opl3 io=0x388
options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 mpu_io=0x330 acer=1

Worked like a charm.Loudest and clearest ever. 
Good luck
