Hi, I don't know if others are seeing this with the Intel-hda driver set but my wife's new Intel X58 chipset based machine is a bit weird with the 1.0.21 drivers from the 2.6.33 kernel. We find that to get sound from the real panel audio output we have to set 3 levels - master, PCM and front. Why front? Other machines have only required master and PCM. Additionally we have seen a problem wherein if you mute PCM in the mixer then when you unmute PCM you don't get sound back until you move the PCM levels in the mixer. All environments seem to be effected - XFCE, Gnome and KDE. Just a heads up to anyone who might end up searching for this sort of thing in the future.
