Unless 'acpi=on' is undocumented, it's not a valid 2.6.x
kernel parameter. See kernel-parameters.txt (you'll need kernel
source installed. Any 2.6 kernel-source will do).
Valid parameters are acpi=off, acpi=ht which both turn off
acpi, and acpi=force, which forces acpi on. Simply not having
any acpi parameter should turn acpi on, as it's built into the
kernel as on by default. You can leave that parameter in tho,
it's just being ignored by the kernel.

Run 'draksound' as root in a term. Follow all the steps under
trouble shooting. I'd add to also run 'll /dev/dsp'. Ouput
should look like this
tom # ll /dev/dsp
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 9 Apr 1 23:56 /dev/dsp -> sound/dsp
The last '-x' means user can execute sound, and '->' that
dsp is linked to sound.
'fuser -v /dev/dsp' should return nothing. This means nothing is
currently tyin up sound, which is what you want.
Also, I didn't need aumix installed as draksound indicates.
What enabled sound in 10.0 for me was to raise all the sliders in
kmix to 100% ..... including the ones under the 'line-in' icons
on the right side. At least one of 'em is the line-in from your
speaker system.
