Please read http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

I'll guess Multimedia--->Sound for starters. But then again it depends
on what desktop manager running or not and just using command line for
control.

Look in menu Multimedia>Sound for a mixer app like aumix. These are system
volume controls. Each app may have it's on that works within the limits of
the system settings. IOW's If I set the master volume to 50% then run
Totem media player for instance. It has it's own volume control and can
adjust the volume from 0 to 100% of the 50%. Other apps may have volume
controls that actually adjust the system volume, like xine's mixer
controls. If you don't have a standalone mixer loaded, then load one or
use the mixer in one of the apps that has one built in. I don't know what
WM you are using but I'd think KDE has one built in on the desktop
somewhere. Couldn't say for sure since I never use KDE. But with any WM,
you can always select an app with a built in mixer or a standalone mixer
like aumix to control master sound.
