Haven't a clue, but both me and user above has backports enabled.  I am
also using a T60 with hardy.  Only one speaker on my notebook was muted
as well as headphones.  Gnome volume app does not show this, only when I
installed QAMix did I see one side was muted.  Un-mute it and it's been
working ever since.
