Hmm...
I'm wondering if the Intel sound chip is intended to support
the Intel "winmodem". (You've seen my rant against winmodems
already; so you know how I feel about them.) And maybe that is
confusing Linux. Let's try blacklisting the snd_intel8x0 kernel
module and see what happens. Follow the instructions for
blacklisting given in my web page. Then shutdown and reboot.
Then try alsamixer again and see if you have more columns. In
particular, we need to see a column labeled PCM or there is no hope
for sound.
