[Virtual-pkg-base-maintainers] Bug#576958: base: volume up/down affects "only" microphone volume up/down

[wmn]

Package: base
Severity: normal


When i press volume up/down multimedia button on my thinkpad t61p it 
only affects to the microphone volume but not to the needed general 
volume up/down slider.

I dont know if this a bug. I am a newbie in linux and installed with 
leaving everything default. Music works ok.. but its annoying.
