That worked. I also added a comment to an existing bug report: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-applets/+bug/84505/comments/4 > The applet probably is tied to PCM (you can probably determine this by > looking at the applet config). It's supposed to be tied to Master. However, if I right click on the applet (Volume Applet 2.14.3) and click on Open Volume Control, I can then adjust the Headset volume. Thanks, David, for the nudge in the right direction.
