Hi John,
Did you do a full desktop install or a minimal desktop install?
I noticed that when I did a minimal desktop install that alot of tools I 
usually use are missing.  This is on purpose of course, but I was still 
surprised.

I've only tried the sound on one machine thus far.  I was in gnome, and 
I was able to raise and lower the volume using the normal user graphical 
tools.
What "userland tools" are you using?
