Having same issue w/ master volume that seems to only have values for
mute and ear blasting.

Tried the replacing merge with ignore trick in alsa conf, didn't seem to
help (well, maybe there was a slight variation in volume, could be my
imagination).

ignore_dB=1 in pa didn't help either.

attempting control=PCM had interesting effect - it seemed volume
adjusted more correctly, but it kind of skipped and stuttered as I
adjusted it, and the application I was using (mplayer) hung completely
for a while, then skipped a bit, so I removed it.

FWIW, playing around in alsamixer, seems that, at least when using PA,
master does nothing. PCM or "Speaker 3" do seem to control volume correctly.
