Same here. > I'd think about a hardware limitation if it weren't because: > > * I remember it playing OK under Win Sigmatel AC'97 codecs have some undocumented registers called "CIC" and "BIAS". ALSA's driver writes some values to these, but I don't know what these do, and it may be possible that the Windows driver knows some hardware-specific tricks to reduce the gain. Another possibility is that the Windows driver simply uses 0..80% as full volume range ... ;-) > * With alsa 0.5.x, clipping would be bad enougth at 70%, with 0.9.x I > could use it pretty well at 71%-74% and now with 1.0.2c I can use as > loud as around 80% or a little bit more. > > Am I just turning paranoid or is this normal? I'm not aware of any changes in the driver for the STAC9708/11 that would affect the volume.
