Welcome to Mint Hybrid_theory
My theory is that you've made a typo :) Mint 4.10 will never exist :)
Double click on the volume control - I assume that with "the software controller" you mean the little loudspeaker by the clock.
In the "Archive" section you may have an option "Switch unit". Do so and see what happens. A lot of motherboards with built in sound have two units, I have "Nvidia CK804" and "Realtek ALC850". Not that I know why but that's the way it is

Archive should be there in the menu once you've double clicked the volume control (speaker) The alternative to the left, and once you click it you get the options Switch unit and Quit
Suspend is a nasty thing.....
The advice is to do a cold reboot, usually solves the problems associated with suspend and hibernate
(Cold reboot - shut down for a while and then boot again)
