I have the exact same model machine, and is of course also affected by
this. I also noticed that if I go to Sound settings and turn Output
volume (master volume) up above 100% it actually increases the volume.
Other than that I only have two volume ranges: off/muted - if I turn it
all the way down, and "on" - if I have the slider somewhere between
1%-100%.

Title:
  master volume does not work with snd-hda-intel on HP Elite 8200

Status in “gstreamer0.10” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When changing the volume Up and Down in Ubuntu 11.10 oneiric, the audio volume does not change at all. 
  If you, for example use KWin (or alsamixer) to lower the "Master volume" from 100% to 0%, the volume does not decrease at all, until it reaches 0%. There it is muted. Alsamixer, Kwin, volume button, they all make the same behaviour. It is probably a gstreamer problem, or parameter for the kernel module snd-hda-intel.

  If you change the volume of the PCM output sound in alsamixer, it
  works, reflecting the actual value. But master volume doesn't.
