Hi Peter:

 You need to either get Xmix or Aumix packages from here to have mixer controls:
http://www.openbsd.org/4.1_packages/i386.html

Alternatively you can use mixerctl:
MIXERCTL(1)                OpenBSD Reference Manual                MIXERCTL(1)

NAME
     mixerctl - control audio mixing


See the FAQ here for package installation:
