Hi - this is what Google came up with:

http://www.fagotten.org/daniele/acer-tm630/
<----------------snip------------------->
The soundcard ALi 5451 works with the ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound 
Architecture) driver. To set it up, do as follows

% apt-get install alsa-source alsa-headers alsa-utils alsa-base
% cd /usr/src
% tar xzf alsa-driver.tar.gz
% cd modules/alsa-driver/
% ./configure --with-cards=ali5451
% make
% make install

To load the modules automatically at boot add the module names to 
the /etc/modules by

% echo "soundcore\nsnd-ali5451" >> /etc/modules

Load the sound modules by

% modprobe soundcore snd-ali5451

Set up some aliases for the sound modules by downloading 
my /etc/modutils/sound (or edit your own manually).

Regenerate the modules configuration file

% update-modules

The volume needs to be set manually with some mixer. I use aumix and 
have added the following /etc/aumixrc. (Then I removed /etc/init.d/alsa 
to run aumix automatically.)
