i have tinkered a bit with this and i'm getting very loud output. i've
got the /us/sbin/mixer set to 0:0
using gzine with it's mixer/amplifier set to 0. if i move the gxine
amplifier setting to 1.0 and the gxine volume to 1.0, i get what i would
expect. but when i move the volume back to 0.0, it does not reduce. the
volume changes do change the /usr/sbin/mixer settings as expected. now
with the gxine volume still at 0.0, the default gxine amplifier setting
was 100, now when i go to 10.0 it is too loud for my laptop. i was using
the hacked hdac.ko driver prior to this and gxine worked fine.
i almost blew my laptop (Latitude D820) speakers when the mixer was at 75:75
here is my info
