Mmm, I use volume "button" and slider since years.

With the built in analog audio device, the slider works fine

I have installed a Bose bluetooth device which connects and works fine, 
with the e bluetooth gadget

BUT with  the Bose device, the  volume slider has no effect ( but  
"muting" is muting).

All this done without opening the mixer...

It is not important for vlc which have its own slider. But it is 
important for system sounds, that I cannot control.

And let us eliminate the hypothesis of an AGC on the Boose device, as I 
can lower the sound as I want, with the vlc slider.

What do I miss ?
