Kevin, Christopher,

Many older STAC codecs have the oddity that when you set the hardware volume to 
its lowest value, the result is muting instead of the expected -48 dB. 
It looks like this oddity is being indicated correctly in the kernel driver, 
but the information is not adhered to in higher layers (alsa-lib, pulseaudio).

As such, I doubt testing different kernel drivers will help, but if so, 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/UpgradingAlsa/DKMS is the best way of doing so as 
it contains the latest upstream fixes for HDA codecs.
But it seems more likely to me that the problem is within alsa-lib or 
pulseaudio.
