There's really no telling. It's misleading to say "snd-hda-intel is supported" because every single laptop and motherboard with snd-hda-intel is slightly different and there's absolutely no documentation on what the differences are. Possibly the hardware is oncorrectly detected. It's also possible that these devices simply have no hardware master volume and Windows emulates it in software. All these users can do for now is search for information about their machine in the ALSA bug tracker and hope it gets fixed someday. (They can also try the various model options for their codec described in Documentation/ALSA-Configuration.txt).
