I've been looking into this using the hangout-toolbox source code.
Unfortunately through my tests I believe there is nothing much people with 
hangout-tool box can do about it. The Google API that should change the output 
volume is not working, it does say it changed the volume but as we can clearly 
hear it does not.
This is the API:
setParticipantAudioLevel(
  participantId,
  audioLevel
)

If you are also interested you can check the API documentation at:
https://developers.google.com/+/hangouts/api/gapi.hangout.av#gapi.hangout.av.set
ParticipantAudioLevel

This will need someone from google to fix it in their API.

I already reported the issue to google as well, but I'm not sure there is 
anyone looking at those either:

This is a really annoying issue as I end up with bad echo from the 2nd person 
in the room with me and have to ignore them instead, so then I can't present 
their video!

This has been screwing me over in various ways for months now.

Mortiz, Robvert, Gerwin, Allen, ANYONE PLEASE FIX THIS. How can a simple volume 
control be broken for months? It would take you less than an hour at the VERY 
most!

Same issue for last couple months. I use Mac. I tried re-installing it. No 
luck. It gets irritating when i stream my artwork and I dont want to lsiten to 
the rest of the group or hear echo of other person in the same room.

A few of us are using Firefox 39.0
Others are using IE 11.0.9600.17842

another thread since june 8th.

Unfortunately it looks like they did not get any fix back from the API guys.
