I have a Dell Latitude d820 which uses snd-hda-intel (I think this is
the correct module name). I have a few more controls that that, but
what I set by hand in /etc/asound.state was something called PlayBack
Master Switch which was false when it came iand is now true and that
brought up sound.
Hope this helps.
