Sound works, but pcm volume slider does not let to change volume

[PeTzZz]

Sound works, but pcm volume slider does not let to change volume. There are only two possibilities: volume is 100% or 0%, the slider automatically moves to one of them. I have tried to change very many things in gnome-alsa-mixer and gnome-volume-control, but nothing helps. Also I have read many threads here and used google, but haven't found something usefull. I am tired for searching and trying to get it to work and so thought to ask help here.


Thank you in advance!

EDIT
I forgot to mention that I use fc1, kernel 2.6.x and the latest alsa drivers and stuff.

do you have a wheel in you mouse? try to change with this. This is a well known bug of gnome.

i had a case in which my login pic dissapeared from the login browser and no matter what i did it didnt work...under gnome.

so i decided to backup my bookmarks and data in tmp folder and deleted the user and recreated user again and then i tried adding my login pic to happy gnome browser and it worked like a champ...and had no problems ever since.....and this happened after i upgraded to the latest kernel 2.6.8

you said you tried everything already...so maybe you wanna do what i did

Scrolling the wheel didn't help. That user profile deletion stuff I will try also soon, but I think that I will make another user and try so.

I attached a screenshot, maybe it helps to help (sound works with full volume and in xmms i use software volume control; it wouldn't be problem, but i use headphones quite often). I have also read some alsa configuration, but i haven't found anything usefull, because they didn't help or they are meant to help from the beginning, but i am not in the beginning.

Thank you for your answers. Any ideas are welcome.


EDIT
In volume control window i can scroll PCM slider, but it has the same effect: volume doesn't change, but if the slider is in very bottom then there is no sound.

I created a new user, but that didn't help. The same problem continued.
I attached modules.conf, look at it, maybe there's sth wrong there.
Master volume slider doesn't affect anything - nothing happens when i scroll it, even if i unmute it in alsamixer (in gnome volume control it is unmuted even if in alsamixer it isn't).

I use FC2, with a sound enabled kernel. I don't know if your problem is the same as mine or not - I can get all the options that I would expect for my sound chip (SIS onboard), but only the MASTER control works - all the other sliders make no difference. If you have the same problem, I would assume it is a problem with certain sound chip drivers, that the mixers do not set-up correctly.

Forgot to mention: using (KDE 3.2.2-4 Red Hat), and the sound mixer applet on the task-bar

mikecurry, yes, the same problem, but in my case the only control that works is PCM (in whatever mixer). I use gnome. Hm, strange, why didn't I answer earlier ... ?!
