Hi
Has anyone experienced low audio volumes when using netbsd 3 with the 
Intel 945 GCZ Classic Btx motherboard.
I seem to be able to play wav files but they are very low volume. Very low.

I have tried to increase the audio.play.gain from 127 to 255 but it 
remains set to 127 (i.e. will not accept 255).
I have looked at the various mixerctl output options and set the 
output channels to boost = on and volume16=255.
Also when I reboot the system the hum on the speaker is very loud - I 
guess because I have the volume on max.

It seems specific to this 945 chipset. I have tried netbsd on an old 
intel 865 based chipset and the volume controls work well (same wav file).
The audio chipset on the 945 is the azalia revision 50.1 and is 
picked up by the kernel on a boot.
The kde sound configuration panel indicates that there are no devices 
- which I thought was strange. On the 865 motherboard it displays the 
auich0 device.

I have also tested the motherboard using windows XP and the audio 
plays back fine when using the wave volume control. Interestingly the 
master volume control is disabled !

So either I am being dumb (quite possible) or the audio chipset 
drivers (azalia) are not functioning properly.

Any help would be *much appreciated*

Kind regards
Mark
