I have a notebook with built in sound card:

A some point I noticed that volume became quite low; attempting to turn it up
using volume control on notebook results in very audible noise that makes it
impossible to actually use sound.

I am very casual sound user so I unfortunately cannot tell when exactly the
problem appeared first; but I am pretty sure that in 2.6.14 I could normally
watch video or listen CD without much strain.

I appreciate any pointers how to debug it further; if required I am ready to
try to recompile older kernel (as time permits).

TIA
