 I have been wrestling with this problem for months now and at my wits

 louder by using the sound references icon on the top panel, the sound is
 choppy with lots of static.

What are you using to listen?

At home, I've found that if, for example, I use realplayer, and set a
volume, and then try to use mplayer, or vice versa, I can't make the
volume go louder than had been set at max on the first-used player. Close
the second, make the first volume louder, and no problem.

Have you run the configuration as root, and run the test?

Which config?  Pulseadio volume control? Alsamixer?
Because I've ran both.

In kde, which is what I'm using here at work, start menu-settings-system
settings-computer administration-multimedia, but that just gets me test.
I'm still running 5.8 at home, and I think I had something like
system-config-sound.

I s'pose I need to dig into this more
