You made a lot of updates to this record and I cannot tell whether or not
you hit on issues that requires coding changes on the Ubuntu Audio side.

I did want to report that I seem to have found a resolution that I am
satisfied with.

To summarize, I mentioned that after backing off from Virtual Box 5.0.2 and
installing Virtual Box 4.3.30, my audio problems were resolved and I was
able to use the Volume Slider in order to control the Volume. After
contacting the Virtual Box team, they gave me a customization option change
to correct the video problems I was experiencing that did not relate to
this audio problem. Since that customization option solved the video
problem, I wanted to go back and reinstall VBox 5.0.2 to see if the Audio
problems persist.
Short answer is No, they did not exist under a fresh install of 5.0.2. I
speculated to the VBox team that I perceive the Maintenance upgrade from
VBox 5.0.0 to 5.0.2 did not work completely correct. The fact that I
performed a full uninstall of VBox going to the older 4.3 level and to the
current 5.0 levels both had the audio working correctly. I can only assume
the service upgrade process was the cause.

Please close this record as resolved at your earliest convenience.

  [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.
