Something wild is merged in his system. It has a wrong "Master" control without suffix. Also a strange "Pre-Amp" control is found there, too. The string doesn't fix in kernel or alsa-lib codes at all.

the softvol plugin allow user to define the name of the control and dB range

the user has a fresh install of kbuntu 12.04 and found the volume too low for his alc887vd as he mention that he tried some asound.rc config
