Have you had a look under the levels too?

If you go to Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Sound -> Speakers ->
Properties -> Levels. There are some more volume controls there for
specific types of content.

There's also the application mixer. Which you can get to by clicking the
volume icon and going to Mixer, there will be a slider for Windows Sounds
too.
