Public bug reported: After upgrade to 11.10, volume/sound output seemed normal, but after adjusting the volume, the sound *almost* completely went away (I could still barely hear it), and further (positive) volume adjustments did nothing, nor did muting/unmuting.
After playing around with sound settings, I discovered that: 1) Adjusting balance would bring sound back immediately. 2) Adjusting sound lower would also result in the sound coming back at a certain point, but that point would change if I adjusted the sound up (losing the sound again), and then down again.
