More experimenting with this... if I run alsamixer -c 3 I can control
the volume.  On startup, it is set at 100%.  Moving the speaker volume
down makes things even quieter (expected) but maxing the volume and
playing test sounds.. can barely hear anything.

I opened up /etc/asound.STATE and poked around in there.  The section
for the Headset was set to a range of 0 to 44 and volume was set to
44. (max of the range?)  I unplugged the usb headset.. plugged it back
in... it's immediately picked up and working.. but the sound levels
are still barely audible.  I started playing a sound and runnign the
volumes up and down in KMix and alsamixer.... I get spikes of loud and
quiet as I move the volume up or down.  I cannot get it to stay on a
"loud" segement... it spikes and then drops back down to barely
audible.

Any suggestions?  Trying it on another computer now...
