Just a thought... What is listed in Control Panel> Sounds and Audio as the
main mixer? On my desktop, the nVidia mixer is merged with the Windows
Volume controls (or mimics it so much that it appears the same as Windows
Volume Controls). However, I've had other sound cards/chips and drivers
that installed a separate mixer. Adjusting volume meant using that program
or by adjusting the preferred mixer in Control Panel to using the Windows
Volume Controls.
