    Everyone,

    This is a repost. I don't normally do these. However I am really hoping
    that there is someone on the list that can help me with this. I have
    not been able to google an answer. Nor has my own limited skills been
    of any use. I am hoping that someone with suggestions or answers is
    reading this list today that wasn't reading it late Monday night.

    I have a laptop which has a VIA Tech sound chip. The Chip is identified
    as "VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC Audio Controller" in /etc/sysconfig/hwconfig.
    The snd-via82xx module is being used for this chip.

    When I play .ogg files through winamp or ogg123, I get sound that is low
    volume and has a lot of static. I get the same results when I use
    playwave to play a .wav file. I believe this issue is caused by not
    having a volume control for the "PCM" input. I have used the gnome
    volume control panel and aumix, but cannot control the volume to PCM,
    only mute it. I have come to this conclusion after playing DVDs. I had
    the exact same issue with DVD audio until I located the second "VIA DXS"
    slider (there are a total of 4 sliders with this label) and increased it
    considerably (A little over half way). I might mention that on FC1, and
    FC2, I did not have this issue. On none of the 3 FC releases have the
    "Master" volume control worked. I typically set the input control
    fairly high, then use the volume control wheel on the front of my laptop
    to adjust the volume to my headphones (or crappy built in speakers). I
    do not know whether the master volume control works on Windows as I do
    not use this laptop for windows. I've always assumed that the chip does
    not support it because of the manual volumn control wheel.

    Has anyone else experienced this issue? Are there any solutions.

    Please forgive me for the repost. If I still get no answers, I will NOT
    continue to repost.
