I've been running a DH55HC  for about the last year. It has a Core
i5-661 in it and I have no problems with audio volumes. My distro is
Gentoo. I've run pretty much every kernel out in the last year.
Currently at 2gentoo-sources-2.6.36-r6 in this machine. Never had any
issues.

Hope this helps,
Mark

I use the on-board Intel audio for most everything normal. The
Hammerfall is just for recording work.
