Mmm, that looks like a new sound codec or at least I've never seen that 
before. 

Have you tried with the usual things (alsamixer/gnome applet volume 
control) to configure the Intel card? Ensure you are using the Intel card 
because you also have a secondary one, coming from nvidia HDMI ("cat /
proc/asound/cards" will tell what's the default).

I could only found an Ubuntu bug for a similar card/chipset:

***
[IDT ID 76e7] Dell Latitude E5520 - No sound through internal speakers, 
sound is only from headphones output with Ubuntu 10.04.2 and 10.10 - 
update Lucid ALSA LBM to latest release (1.0.24) 

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/792233
***

The bug points to the latest ALSA version but I'm not sure if that will 
solve your audio problem. To avoid messing up things, I would first try 
to load a LiveCD with the latest ALSA version (1.0.24) and see if that 
works. If yes, then consider upgrading ALSA for your Squeeze install.
