$ lspci | egrep -i 'audio|sound'
00:1f.3 Audio device: Intel Corporation Device 9d71 (rev 21)
The onboard sound device generally works perfectly, but the volume level can only be set to 100% or mute.
Using the keyboard volume control hotkeys in Unity shows the overlay and a decrease/increase in the volume indicator, but the volume remains at its maximum. The mute hotkey works fine. Same in e.g. alsamixer, I can move the Master channel volume to anything between 0 and 100 but the volume remains constantly at maximum unless I mute the channel.
Individual applications with their own volume controls work fine.
Plugging in a USB headset and adjusting the volume levels for that device works fine.
