I tried the "Soundcard Detection" Gnome menu item; it reported 
Vendor: Intel 
Model: 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) AC'97 Audio Controller
Module: snd-intel8x0

Test sound worked, and after that I get sound when e.g. playing an MP3.

However, I still get "Sorry, no mixer elements and/or devices found"
upon running Volume Control.
