[Bug 462007] Volume scale not linear for Intel Corporation 82801I ( ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)

Furthermore, there are the following additional two problems: 2) An analog headset's microphone only works if it is selected as source 1. Having all volume sliders for source 1 and 2 identical, there is no sound if I select/capture from source 2. Both input sources are to "Mic". 3) The input source "Front Mic", which I expect to refer the laptop's built-in microphone, produces just noise. I cannot get the Dell M4400's internal microphone to work. NOTE: An analog headset's microphone works, but produces a lot of static noise. The model option "options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m4-2" fixes this and the microphone works nicely. However, the three problems still persist (non-linear volume sliders, non-functional second source, non-functional internal microphone). Here is my up-to-date sound config info:
