I installed module-assistant and also-source and then rebuilt the alsa
intel drivers. Everything now works [1]. Obviously, I guess I'll have to
rebuild these drivers the next time the kernel and modules are updated
but that should be fine. However, it does indicate that there is
something wrong with the current situation?
Anyway, thanks for your response.
Thanks,

[1] actually, rebuilding the drivers did allow sound to work but it
worked with ever increasing volume! this was fixed by adding
'model=dell-m42' to the alsa modprobe options.
