so "bass speaker playback volume" is working as expected
it is pulseaudio bug which cannot provide a bass volume control for the subwoofer similar to surround 5.1
the sound preference provide controls for 5.1 profile
1) volume 2) balance 3) bass 4) fade
but sound preference did not provide bass control for 2.1 profile
1) volume 2) bass
