I have an Intel Motherboard D915PGN, which uses the I915P chipset.
In order to get the sound working I had to install and compiled the alsa-source package. (driver is azx).
||/ Name                         Version
Description
+++-============================-============================-=======
ii  alsa-source                  1.0.8-4         ALSA driver sources

The mixer shows the following output sliders:
Headphones, PCM, Front, Surround,Center,LFE,Line,CD,Mic-1,Mic-2,PC
Speaker.
The Slider labelled "Front" is a bit of a misnomer, as it appears to be
the master volume control.

The problem is the system tray volume control adjusts the Headphones
channel rather than master volume ("Front").

It appears this is set in Mixer_ALSA::identify when a device called
"Master" is found. m_masterDevice = snd_mixer_selem_id_get_index( sid
);
Since m_masterDevice is assigned 0 as default value in mixer.cpp the
first device will be used as master if the ALSA driver does not provide
one called "Master". 

Clearly this does not work for all drivers (or does this mean the driver
is broken rather than kmix?)

Perhaps what Kmix needs is an option for the user to select the channel that will
be controlled by the systray volume control, since Kmix can't guess the
correct device 100% of the time.

  Hello Ben:

  As you have confirmed this bug is solved in testing (and also unstable)
