>Description:
Device appears to be functioning in that I can hear the music I am playing, however the volume level with mixer settings at max is barely audible. I can only hear it when I turn my speaker volume to max, and only because of the speaker amp.

This machine dual-boots into Windows2k and the volume level is normal there.

Volume setting changes via the mixer do have an effect on the level, but the max setting in the mixer is not even close to the full output of the card.

Both the audio and dsp devices output at the same volume levels.
