Run alsamixer, gnome-alsamixer, or whatever the KDE equivalent is.
You get a separate volume control for each ALSA device.

Per-app issues apply when you want a specific application to output
audio to a specific device.  The application needs to have a
configuration option that allows you to select which device your audio
output should go to.  Most applications dedicated to audio have such
configuration options.
