Hi all,

I've just been testing out audio on my iBook SE running 3.1, partly due
to Michael's request on the list last month.  I've found so far that
awacs(4) works for me, except that changing the volume level with
mixerctl(1) has no effect, so I'm stuck with a moderately quiet level
of playback.  (Perhaps those in listening distance of me would say
that's a feature, not a bug though...  Ahem.)

I see there were previous reports of volume level problems with
hardware of similar vintage, e.g.:

I thought I'd add my two cents.
