Description of problem:
Changing volume settings doesn't affect actual volume of the speaker
output. I can use any program that can change the /dev/mixer settings,
for example aumix, kmix, or xmms. Changing settings in one program
does reflect in the other programs, but the actual sound volume stays
the same.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.4.22-1.2179.nptl

How reproducible:
Happens always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use a program to play sound
2. Try to change the volume
  
Actual results:
The volume remains the same

Expected results:
The volume changes
