Hi,
The standard volume controls have never worked for me in either the Recovery
Partition nor the USB installers. I don't believe that the base system that's
part of these initial installers has that capability. Things may have changed
though and I could be mistaken.

Could you use the standard F12 / fn+F12 to increase the volume?
Also, I expect that USB sound devices would not work with the installer, so
make sure you are using system sound or head phone jack.
Best wishes,
