I use alsa tools for volume control - I have them tied to keys like this (and then no need for gnome-volume-control or pulseaudio!): XF86AudioLowerVolume :ExecCommand (amixer set Master 5%-) XF86AudioRaiseVolume :ExecCommand (amixer set Master 5%+) XF86AudioMute :ExecCommand (amixer set Master 0%) ... no, it's not for noobs so be prepared to hack at the configuration files.
