This is the default you only need:
plugin.remove('mixer')
plugin.activate('ossmixer')
or
nothing

This means that freevo controls the PCM channel of the mixer. If you can
see freevo and the mixer at the same time you can see what freevo is
doing with the audio

This means that freevo controls other devices

You may need a VIDEO_GROUP setting for the SAA7134 chip on your tv card.
VIDEO_GROUPS = [
VideoGroup(vdev='/dev/video0',
vvbi = '/dev/vbi0',
adev =
'alsa:adevice=hw.1,0:amode=1:audiorate=32000:forceaudio:immediatemode=0',
input_type = 'tuner',
input_num = 0,
tuner_norm = CONF.tv,
tuner_chanlist = CONF.chanlist,
desc = 'Pinnacle 110i Group',
group_type = 'tvalsa',
),
]

How have you connected the speakers to your freevo box?

You should see a 'M' below the bar when a channel is muted.

What does /etc/asound.conf or ~/.asound.conf contain?
It seems strange that PCM works and VOL does not work, it looks like
alsa has not been configured correctly.
