I'm moving the bug to indicator-sound since it appears alsamixer works
correctly. Feel free to change it back if that's not true.

Title:
Sound Volume control completely broken on Dell Inspiron 9300
Status in “indicator-sound” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Exactly the same behavior described at:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/84505/comments/30
Let me elaborate.
* Alsamixer works right. It controls Master, Master Mono and PCM.
* Unity Sound control and multimedia keys are completly broken.
Detailed description:
Open a terminal and run alsamixer.
Starting from Mute (Alsamixer slides: Master=0, MasterMono=0, PCM=0)
1st press on VolumeUp -> MasterMono=51, PCM=25
2nd press onVolumeUp -> Master=4, MasterMono=100, PCM=56 (Believe me, Sound
Sucks!)
3rd to 10th -> Master 16, 28, 40, 51, 60, 75, 87,100 (However GUI slide still
at around 60%)
11th to 16th -> PCM 60, 70, 75, 81, 93, 100
Now AlsaMixer shows: Master=100, MasterMono=100, PCM=100
Let press VolumeDown:
1sto to 6th presses-> PCM=93, 87, 81, 75, 65, 60 (??)
6th press -> Master=93, PCM=56
7th to 14th -> Master=81, 70, 60, 47, 34, 22, 12, 0 (At this point GUI slide
shows around 10%, however PCM=65 and MasterMono=100)
15th -> MasterMono=28 !!!, PCM=10 !!
16th -> Mute all
As you can imagine Unit y volume control and volume multimedia keys
are unusable on this computer.
TIA.
