XP's sndvol32 sound mixer used to feature individual volume controls such as Wave, SW Synth and CD Player, PC Speaker or PCM SPDIF among others. These could be set hidden or visible under it's menu Options / properties / (device) / playback .
With Windows 7's sndvol now it looks like this, with no menu, no options, no properties, no such volume controls:
edit 1( I tried to check under control panel / sound, there is a tab for 'playback' and one for 'recording', among others, which seem to happen to named like XP's options/properties checkboxes. But the other volume controls are missing, with only Speaker and Headphones available in the playback list, either which didn't seem to correspond to the "Wave" control anyway. )edit 1
I cannot find a way to add the missing controls. and enabled hidden devices, but couldn't find these controls. Maybe I've just missed something. Most of them did not used to be any special, they were handled by the general drivers/OS.
Where did those previous controls go and how can I set them?

In your Windows 7 screenshot, there is a downwards arrow next to 'Speakers'. Click on that and there should be options for different output devices or input devices. I am not sure if this is what you specifically want, but this should show every input/output it is using.
