Surround, Center, LFE, and Side are all muted and zeroed.

The same problem with me. Not sure if alsa or pulseaudio is the problem. I installed maverick 10.10 last month and the sound worked fine until I updated yesterday the system (what I do regularly, last one befoe probably in the beginning of this week). But yesterday no sound at all (music, video, skype, system, ...). I tried to change all settings in the sound preferences, but no effect. I have Dell 1545 (2009 Edition, Intel Core 2 Duo T6400 (2.0GHz,800MHz,2MB), HDA Intel). Any quick help is appreciated, it is nice to be without sound ... Thanks.

After some more research, I found following instruction that solved my problem (so far :-):
Using a Terminal="Applications->Accessories->Terminal"
Open this file for editing:
Code: gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

Insert this line at the bottom:
Code: options snd-hda-intel model=3stack
Save. Close. Reboot.

Check your levels in alsamixer.
Code: alsamixer
Press <F6> to select the correct soundcard.
Press <F3> to show playback levels. <F4> selects capture levels [or use <Tab>]
Use the left/right arrow keys to select and up/down arrow keys to change levels. <M> to mute/unmute.
Go to "System ->Preferences ->Sound" and make sure the correct soundcard is default and adjust your profile on the hardware tab.
On the output tab choose the correct device.
