Hagen, as per http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers an update is
available for your BIOS (1.41). If you update to this, does it change
anything?

If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Acer TravelMate 6293 - no s/pdif (iec958) anymore since Ubuntu 12.04
  LTS

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Since upgrading to Precise the IEC958 setting is missing when opening 'alsamixer', resulting in no S/PDIF output signal at all. Prior to that, it was possible to add the ALC267/268 module option "snd-hda-intel model=zepto" to forcible activate the S/PDIF support, but this parameter has been vanished with kernel version 3.2.x. When installing a 3.0.x kernel (from Ubuntu 11.10) it works again.
