I confirm as well that this is happening on my Dell XPS M1710 laptop. The PCM volume is always at high level as seen in alsamixer. The master will adjust using the volume applet, but not the PCM. Adjust of the master also does something really odd. It doesn't change the volume but rather moves the sound from "bass" to "treble." Sounds like the subwoofer is getting more of the sound when the master volume is low, and the all the speakers get it when the master is high. Kinda odd. If I adjust the alsamixer PCM volume manually it does what I would expect.
