I am having the same issue stated above by both people. The volume adjustment is not working properly with my USB headset. If I try to adjust the volume with the Volume Applet (with my mouse) it does the same thing, so it's not just the buttons on my headset. I found that I don't actually have to close the volume control applet (although it is pretty useless) and the alsamixer still fixes the problem.
