I'm using dmasound on stock 2.2.15 from kernel.org, and the mixer works fine.
(Tried aumix, gmix, gnome mixer panel applet.)

Oh- the panel applet doesn't work on the internal speakers out-of-box, only on
external speakers.  I have a one-line patch against the gnome-core source
package which makes it work on internal speakers too.  If you're interested, I
can send it.  But first try gmix and see if any of the sliders change the volume
for you.
