Just wanted to jump in on this. I cannot supply all of the requested information because I am not running the devel distro. However this bug is still current. The symptoms I experience are identical to those Ryan Lovett expressed on 2012-09-02. 

This is the machine:

Dell Inspiron 9300

Please inform if there are indeed further steps I might take to assist the solving of this bug. Below output from 'lspci -vvn',  and 'amixer' (not asoundconf because it was not available for installation).
