The new gnome-volume-control is so cut-down it's not useful to me. In

the master output. alsamixer works fine, but then I can't use the volume
sliders on my desktop and it gets rather awkward.
Sadly, they consider this bug as an enhancement. I have had friends
who had the same hardware with me but they were using another OS. I
remember them being jealous because I had so much more control over
same sound card. It made me proud at the time. I fear that this
disease of oversimplifying will make us forget why we are using Linux.
Try kmix, it always works. You can probably put in on Gnome panel too.
