Just like your computer doesn't come with a brand name webcam out of the box, it doesn't come with a dedicated volume controller out of the box. Doesn't mean you can't just add one for cheap: they're cheaper than a good webcam and have big-ass low-friction volume knobs as well as dedicated instant-mute buttons. If that's what you need in your life, you already have brand-name options (like Behringer and Mackie). But most people, of course, don't. (I would venture a guess and say neither you nor I are most people, which is why I have an NI Komplete Audio 6 sitting under my monitor right now for that purpose)
