Bug Description
I'm currently running Feisty on a Toshiba Satellite A100, which uses the snd-hda-intel ALSA driver. After upgrading from 2.6.20-8-generic to 2.6.20-9-generic, the sound is an order of magnitude quieter; turning both the hardware and software volume controls up to maximum gives a barely-audible whisper. When viewing alsamixer, several sliders are missing or inactive, including the "master" slider (which merely has an on/mute switch instead of an adjustable sound level).
From what I can see, the 2.6.20-12 upgrade still contains the broken driver. Aside from the odd crackle when using SDL_mixer/OpenAL applications, 2.6.20-8 had no problems handling the sound card.
