I ran pavucontrol to verify this:
On the "Output Devices" tab, I see the volume sliders for the "Internal
Audio Analog Stereo" move when I press the volume buttons on the USB
device. I'd expect the sliders ot "USB DSP v4 Audio Interface Analog
Stereo" to move instead. Note: If I use the "Sound Preferences" app
(from right-click the volume control icon in the top menu bar), then I
see that the USB device's volume buttons actually affect the currently
selected sound output device. The dedicated volume buttons on my laptop
behave the same way; either controlling the laptop speakers or USB
device depending on what "Sound Preferences" selected as the output
device. I suppose that could be correct according to an Ubuntu/Pulse
policy decision, although it's not really what I'd expect.
On the "Input Devices" tab, I watch the VU meter for the USB device's
mic while tapping it. The mute button on the USB device does affect
recording, although it doesn't update the state of pavucontrol's GUI;
i.e. when I use the GUI to mute, various controls get grayed out, and
the mute button stays "pushed" in, but that doesn't happen when using
the mute button on the USB device.
