Sound control help

[aslfgb]

I have problems controlling my volume. I have an Inspiron 9300 and to comtrol the Volume I need to use the PCM sliders in Volume control and the master slider just adds or reduces bass. What can i do so I can control the volume with the buttons on the front of the computer?
