I researced a bit and determined that G61-100SA laptop has:
*Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller
(rev 03)*
I found a couple of lines people added to  /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
that worked for people with that set up:
*(after changing a setting, reboot, and retest. Make sure to run 'alsamixer'
and check that none of the channels get muted or turned down.*)

options snd-hda-intel model=3stack-dig
options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1
options snd-hda-intel single_cmd=1
options snd slots=snd-hda-intel
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel model=auto

# Keep snd-pcsp from being loaded as first soundcard
options snd-pcsp index=-2
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel model=laptop enable=1 index=0
options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1

try replacing model=laptop with model=ref, reboot, retest, replace model=ref
with model=dell-m4-1, reboot, retest ,etc...This issue is a matter of
finding and testing the right alsa-base.conf model option for your specific
audio codec and mixer.
