On Centos-7, some apps use PulseAudioVolumeControl (pavucontrol)
instead of the one that defaults to the top panel. (I am running
Mate, not Gnome--yuck--so YMMV).
I wish there was a way to control all from a single place, but AFAICF
there isn't. for some things I use the one on the top panel (which is
Mate Volume Control) and for others I gotta start up pavucontrol.
it's a nuisance.
My USB phones seem to be controlled by the pavu control, while the
speakers tend to be controlled by the mate volume control. and I can't
get my old analog (1/8 inch plug) headphones to work at all anymore,
no matter what control I use or how I poke at it, all the sound comes
from the speakers (which are plugged into the line out [green} jack
on the rear of the computer, while the headphones are plugged into the
green jack on the front.)
digressing a little... A few years ago my systems all supported
auto-switching between speakers and headphones when the phone plug
was inserted, but the only one I have now that does that is my netbook.
the current desk-side system and its last couple of predecessors now
do not do that. Go figure.
