Indeed, I had sound muted when I issued lspci and amixer but that's not the issue..
At 100 % unmuted, the volume is really low and distorted. You can barely hear something on the headphones either.
As I'm stating under bug 64356 a friend has a pretty similar laptop but doesn't have the issue. alsamixer reports a realtek chipset on his machine and a "generic" chipset on mine. That's the only difference we could fine between our two machines.
Daniel,

Fyi, I had the same problem under Fedora Core.
