You can configure which settings to display using
Edit->Preferences in gnome-volume-control.  Not that they are
automatically doing something useful but they might. :-)

Checking what you have in /etc/asound.state and/or running
'/sbin/alsactl -f - names' may give you a better idea what was
really recognized.

Maybe you just to unmute outputs and set volume high enough?

I strongly agree that you should get gnome-volume-control by
default in some more usable state but maybe your sound setup
really has troubles.
