There is no necessary correlation between the device and mixer name.
While it would probably work most of the time for hw= devices it does not seem worth the effort to try to autoselect it when it will only work in a select few cases anyway.
So you'll have to specify the mixer to use with -mixer or completely switch to software volume control via -softvol.
