This is by design (a feature not a bug). ALSA's mixer layer is being
redesigned to be more consistent across the support cards. Both the
OSS and the ALSA view of the Volume Control drive the same card; one
uses ALSA's OSS emulation, the other uses ALSA's mixer elements
directly.

There is no need to change anything; your system is functioning as
expected.

Thanks,
