You haven't stated what software you are using, so it is difficult to say what can/should be done at the application level, but fundamentally, volume control is defined by what is exposed by the driver. Section 13.1 of the FAQ will have more information of what can be done there:

Note, however, that the developers writing drivers are at continuing odds with the seemingly nonstandard way in which various manufacturers do or do not expose controls which can be seen in recent

In short, the answer depends upon what chip is used on your system. Poke about what features are exposed, but in the end, you may or may not have adequate control.
