Pulseaudio as System Settings->Hardware->Audio doesn't provide me with any
option to select different Hardware if I want to. I'm using Logitech 7.1 headphones
and with these settings usage of the volume control on the headphones is a bit dodgy at
times in that it doesn't always actually control the volume. The profile options
change if I disconnect the Logitech G533 headphones from the host and connect them to the
VM, but I don't get anything like the options that Ed mentioned, but that may also be
because Fedora doesn't seem to have direct support for those headphones (at least the
last time I looked, and I haven't looked for a while) and Logitech don't provide
any interfaces for Linux like they do for windows.

host OS.
The control of the real device is being done via the Logitech windows driver application
and in the vm, when I use the volume control on the headphones sometimes I get a volume
level widget displayed on the screen and sometimes I don't, and sometimes using the
headphones volume control manipulates the volume levels and sometimes it does nothing.
Even when the volume is at 100% it is sometimes hard to hear the audio, and it get better
if I direct connect the headphones to the vm.
I'm a bit confused based on the last 2 of your posts.
Is your VM a Fedora VM or a Windows VM?
