***
Volume control does not affect USB audio (I'm using Razer Barracuda X 2022).
the volume controller does change but volume the sound stays the same and changes only when the control is below 10%.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  connect usb audio
2. play music
3. change volume and listen

OBSERVED RESULT
the volume stays the same unless it's below 10%

EXPECTED RESULT
volume control should control the volume coming out through the headphones
