USB headset speaker volume unaffected by volume control

[Colan Schwartz]

With my Logitech USB headset, it should be possible to control the speaker volume with the tuner in Sound Preferences -> Output -> Premium Stereo USB Headset 350 Analog Stereo. However, this control has absolutely no effect.

The only way I was able to control the speaker volume was by installing gnome-alsamixer, and controlling it from there. It shouldn't be necessary to install another package, as most folks wouldn't even think of doing this, let alone know which package to install. This should work out-of-the-box with the default volume control.
