[Gene Soo <genesoo77072@xxxxxxxxx>]

Lots of questions, I'll attempt to answer as best as I can.

First. Host OS Level:
uname -a
Linux gwsux79 3.13.0-62-generic #102-Ubuntu SMP Tue Aug 11 14:29:36 UTC
2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Second, Sound Card/Sound Support: I don't understand the question about
"Real Sound Card Support 5.1".

Onboard Audio Intel Motherboard DX79SI The following URL is documentation
for the Motherboard.
https://downloadmirror.intel.com/20560/eng/DX79SI_TechProdSpec06.pdf

Third question asks Which Audio Backend is being used for VirtualBox 5.0?
I take the the defaults(Audio) for installing any Guest OSes. When I look
at the Settings for the guest I reported this issue, it lists
Host Driver: PulseAudio
Controller: ICH AC97

I hope this answers your questions.

Title:
  [Emulated AD1980 AC97 inside Virualbox 5.0, playback] volume slider
  problem

Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Volume Slider is only controlling PCM channel and is not controlling
  Master. In effect, Master is restricting the audio level to the
  default of approximately 45 Percent. In order to raise the Master
  Volume Level, alsamixer is capable of changing Master. Without
  manually raising Master to Max Volume, Volume Slider can only control
  volume from 0-45% which is the default level of Master.
