Hmm, that's marginally odd.  I wouldn't expect the ALC883 patch to have any
effect on your laptop if you truly have an ALC260.  The ALC260 hasn't had
any major changes for a while so it's a little strange that things have
changed recently.

Could you send me the output of 
  lspci -v
as well as the result of the command
  cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#0

If this Acer is anything like others and it truly does use the ALC260 (eg:
Travelmates) it could be that we need to activate more than just GPIO0 on
your particular laptop.  Currently the ALC260 Acer model turns GPIO0 on
which on the Travelmates means both the headphone jack and the internal
speaker can work.  Perhaps the c204 uses GPIO0 for the headphone jack (since
you report that working) and GPIO1 (for instance) for the internal speaker.

However before proceeding we have to confirm exactly which chip is in your
notebook, as described previously.

Now *that's* odd.  This seems to suggest that the c204 may be wired
totally differently to the Travelmate from the point of view of which
pins on the ALC260 chip go where.

Could you give me a complete list of the audio jacks provided on your
laptop.  I guess there's at least a "headphone" jack and one labelled "mic".
If there are any others, what are they?

Are you comfortable/familiar with configuring and compiling ALSA?  We
are possibly going to have to get you to run some tests with the "test"
ALC260 model but that will require you recompile ALSA.
