The ALSA changes in 2.6.23-rc6 for Intel HDA made me change my volume from about 30% to 75% to get the same level of sound. Was this intentional?

Hi,
First of all, what kernel do you compare to (which has louder sound) Then if you use headphones, maybe you plugged them in 'surround output' Like center/LFE/side/surround. Those outputs give much lower levers of sound. Only Front HP and Line-out have special amp for headphones.
2.6.23-rc5, I have stereo speakers plugged into the left/right output. I never moved the speaker plug. The volume gets louder when I load the
louder ?
new kernel.
It looks like the name of the main PCM channel changed from 'pcm' to 'PCM" too. I had to reset my levels in alsamixer. I have a STAC9227.
I have everything working. It just all needed to be readjusted. Plus now I have to have my amp (powered speakers) set at a much higher level than before.

Hi,
It mustn't be the kernel Last change in hda-intel code in in pre-2.6.23-rc1
by the way, PCM control is not hardware control it is a softvol plug-in
