Miscellaneous Control Bit Register (Index 76h)

bit14  AC97NC

AC ’97 No Compatibility Mode. 
This bit allows the surround, center, and LFE volume control registers and output attenuators to operate in a more functional mode than defined by the AC97 2.2 spec. This is called ADI compatibility mode. In AC ’97 compatibility mode, the DAC Gain/Attenuators for the surround, center, and LFE are controlled by Register 18h (PCM volume). The output pin attenuators for the surround are controlled by Register 38h, and the output pin attenuators for the center and LFE are controlled by Register 36h. In ADI compatibility mode, the Surround DAC Gain/Attenuators are controlled by Register 38h, and the Center/ LFE DAC are controlled by Register 36h. The output pin attenuators for Center/LFE are controlled by Register 02h (Master Volume), and the output pin attenuators for Surround are controlled by Register 04h. 

0 = AC97 compatibility mode (reset default). 
1 = ADI compatibility mode.

Title:
  [Emulated AD1980 AC97 inside Virualbox 5.0, playback] volume slider
  problem

Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in virtualbox package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Volume Slider is only controlling PCM channel and is not controlling
  Master. In effect, Master is restricting the audio level to the
  default of approximately 45 Percent. In order to raise the Master
  Volume Level, alsamixer is capable of changing Master. Without
  manually raising Master to Max Volume, Volume Slider can only control
  volume from 0-45% which is the default level of Master.
