Oh, I see, your headset is on USB :) That means that audio playback is not managed by your

your volume keys change volume of the soundblaster aka default soundcard only. That will
not work as intended.
I don't know how you persuade PA to change the volume of all soundcards using the keys
of your USB headset, but that's what you should look for.

Technically.
If I am listening to an MP3 using Audacious, I can successfully adjust
the volume with the control marked Audacious.
There are three other controls on the same tab (Playback) labeled:
* speech-dispatcher-espeak-ng
* speech-dispatcher-generic
* speech-dispatcher-dummy
with 'playback on' defaulting to the Audigy FX sound card. If I move the
volume control on the headset, the progress bars for the above three all
move in-sync, but does not change the volume itself. If I change the
playback option for those three to the headphones, the volume controls
drop to 50% (half-way across), but do not move when the volume is
changed. Only the Audacious entry will change the volume. Screenshot is
attached.
Hi Nik,
I briefly installed the regular pavucontrol package, which required some
additional dependencies and the screens were somewhat different, but
since the Qt variant works as is, I removed the regular package and
dependencies and kept the Qt variant installed.
Although I don't know if this is a TDE-specific issue, with either or
both pavucontrol packages installed, when they appear on TDE's
Multimedia menu, neither entry displays an icon to the left.
Question still is:
can you control volume with pulseaudio installed?
