I think there were changes to the volume portions of hda-intel code.  If 
you are really curious you can ask this question on the alsa-devel list 
to see if they will explain it.  If you do post there, be sure to run 
the script at http://hg.alsa-project.org/alsa/raw-file/tip/alsa-info.sh
and then post the link so that people can see your sound setup.   The 
script scans your machine and extracts out things relevant for diagnosis 
and puts them on a website.  It gives you a link to the information that 
you can post.  That will help them answer.  It would have been 
interesting to see the difference with Fedora 8 on your machine.
