Title:
  [Emulated AD1980 AC97 inside Virualbox 5.0, playback] volume slider
  problem

Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Volume Slider is only controlling PCM channel and is not controlling
  Master. In effect, Master is restricting the audio level to the
  default of approximately 45 Percent. In order to raise the Master
  Volume Level, alsamixer is capable of changing Master. Without
  manually raising Master to Max Volume, Volume Slider can only control
  volume from 0-45% which is the default level of Master.
