It's a pitty your emails are ripped out of context and are difficult
to understand without a crystal ball. In what way are updates "too
new"? If you see regression in some component, report it at
bugzilla.redhat.com

It doesn't become clear what problems you see in the Volume Control application.

If you insist on downgrading packages, learn how to make proper use of
the --oldpackage option to "rpm -Uvh ..." so you don't need to
forcefully delete any packages.

Why? What mixer device in the Volume Control application have you
enabled? See menu "File > Change Device".
