Hi Darryl

That's normal to my understanding. The master volume wont be louder the the 
highest the others are set to. Think of it like a tap, it wont let the water 
out faster than it's supplied. If you want to be able to vary your volume the 
full way from the spkr icon then up the other volumes to the max (not the mic 
and such) and then the master volume will work as you expect
