I can confirm that the same problem occurs in Edgy. However, after updating my ALSA modules to the latest RC (1.1.13rc1, I believe?), I was pleasantly surprised to find that PCM is now capable of fully controlling the volume.

Browsing through the changelog, it mentions a bugfix for my laptop (Acer with ALC883 codec). Over at the forums, there are 3 or 4 Acer laptop owners reporting a problem where they do not get any sound on Dapper or Edgy, but after upgrading to the latest Alsa RC, they get sound.

So, if Edgy (at least), and hopefully Dapper can get this Alsa fix backported, that would close this problem.
