I also noticed the described behavior since upgrading to 11.10. I have searched high and low and found this bug - and also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto in which I found that adding a line to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf options snd-hda-intel model=eeepc-p701 made the volume controls work well on my eee-machine. Perhaps you can also work around the issue by setting the model parameter manually...
