sound problems - still

[Mike Thatcher]

Well I finally got sound working.  Using gnome volume control, when I 
set the the "Headpone" & "PCM" to max and unmute I finally got sound 
(yea). The master/master mono sliders have no effect.  The volume 
control which shows in the panel at the top of the gnome desktop has no 
effect (I don't know what this is the front end for). However the volume 
slider on RealPlayer 10.0.2 works correctly

Could someone explay why "Headphone" and not "Master" controls the volume?
