FWIW, I have the same problem on an Acer Aspire 1640Z. Onboard sound
card is in my case listed as
Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) High Definition
Audio Controller (rev 04)
but the rest seems identical. It plays normally with 'doze, so not a
hardware issue.
Someone on debian-laptop suggested getting a usb soundcard and
sidestepping the problem (blacklisting the normal soundcard modules).
Seems an untidy solution, but may be the only one...
