Thanks, been a while since I brushed up on the deps.

Please attach full output of dmesg.

amixer can be used, e.g., amixer sset Master on (which would unmute Master).

Short answer: "too many changes." Long answer: various initialization and codec
changes.

You may need a checkout of the alsa-driver and alsa-kernel cvs modules. Let's
defer that until we rule out the BIOS issue...

$ cvs -d:pserver:anonymous at cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/alsa login
$ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous at cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/alsa co alsa-kernel
alsa-driver
