Before using this application, use alsamixer to ensure the channels are not muted, and are set to suitable levels so that the master volume control will provide suitable levels.

Depending on your theme settings, you may also wish to tick "Use Gnome Icons". If you middle-click on the icon, it will mute the volume, that is, it will set it to zero : do not confuse this with the mute/unmute controls in e.g. alsamixer.
