Double-click the volume control in your task tray and enable all controls in Options > Properties. Click OK and check all sliders.

That isn't the Windows volume control. It's not round.
Go to Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices > Advanced > Options > Properties. Enable all. Examine sliders. | |

In XP you can click Options --> Properties on the main sound control doodah, or Master Volume if you want it's proper name. In here you can decide what options are shown on the main control set.
I personally would add everything in, then work out what each of them do by cranking them all up to the max and turn them down one by one...
Let us know how it goes for you...
