Not a configuration problem. Many ALSA drivers do this (on purpose).
The Master controls do not affect surround channels.
If you want to control volume on multiple channels, you'll probably need
to use an external program/script, such as the attached. You can
configure it to be called with irexec:
begin
prog = irexec
button = volume-up
config = /path/to/volume.sh up &
repeat = 2
end
begin
prog = irexec
button = volume-down
config = /path/to/volume.sh down &
repeat = 2
end
begin
prog = irexec
button = mute
config = /path/to/volume.sh mute &
config = /path/to/volume.sh unmute &
repeat = 0
end
