xawtv depends on the driver.  Older versions of the xfree86 v4l module
used to provide a XV_VOLUME control unconditionally for example.

It might be also a misconfigured "mixer = foobar" line in $HOME/.xawtv
(but in this case mute/unmute is broken too).

xawtv uses the first one by default, i.e. the xvideo device.  You don't
get the v4l2 controls then.

Try the "-noxv" or "-device /dev/v4l/video0" switch ...
