Hi all,

I have an Acer Aspire one (the original one) with a realtek alc268 codec (intel hda)

In windows XP, I would say that the maximum volume is somewhere around 5 times higher than in linux.

I am running kernel 2.6.35.6.

I actually have the spec sheet for the codec (from a google search) and the mixer ranges that are specified in the kernel seem sane,so I'm clueless as to what's happening. Maybe there's some mystery bit to set, because the windows XP Realtek driver has a "limit output" option that when turned on, makes the output be about as loud as in linux. (or maybe this option just cuts the mixer values in half...)

Suggestions? Lacking that, is there a tool already written to read back the codec configuration in windows XP?
