Thanks Daniel. It is indeed reproducible. I added the PPA, updated (it dropped pulseaudio-udev and pulled in rtkit, I thought that needed a kernel patch?), restarted, and things are actually worse. The sound volumes were barely audible, at max, until I went into alsamixer and turned up Master and PCM to reasonable levels. I am not sure if the upgrade somehow caused some difference here?
Also, I now have twice as many microphones to choose from in the Connector drop-down in the Input tab, four choices now: "Microphone 2 / Microphone", "Microphone 2 / Input", "Microphone 1 / Microphone", "Microphone 1 / Input", whereas before I just had Microphone 1 and 2. Only the "/ Microphone" options work, but the audio now is also JUST barely audible when recording, when amplified all the way. Also, my mic setting was reverted, such that I had to go back into alsamixer and change my "Digital Input Source" from "Analog Inputs" back to "Digital Mic 1", which I needed to do originally to get audio (that was another bug), so that was a regression as well. Is there a good path for reverting, something like unchecking the PPA and reinstalling pulseaudio? Thanks and let me know if there is anything else I should try to help debug these issues. The Dell XPS models seem pretty popular so I'd be quite happy to help get them work. I'll also be at UDS-L if you want to debug anything there.
