” Mono Volume Register (Index 06h) Reg No.Name

D15D14D13D12D11D10D9D8D7D6D5*D4D3D2D1D0
Default 06h
Mono Volume
MVM X X X X X X X X X MV5 MV4 MV3 MV2 MV1 MV0 8000h 

*Refer to Table II for examples. This register controls the Mono output
volume and mute bit. The volume register contains five bits, generating
32 volume levels with 31 steps of 1.5 dB each. Because AC ’97 defines
6-bit volume registers, to maintain compatibility, whenever the D5 bit
is set to “1,” their respective lower five volume bits are automatically
set to “1” by the codec logic. On readback, all lower five bits will
read “1s” whenever this bit is set to “1.” All registers not shown and
bits containing an X are assumed to be reserved.

MV[5:0] Mono Volume Control. The least significant bit represents 1.5 dB. This register controls the output from 0 dB to a maximum attenuation of 46.5 dB. 
MVM Mono Volume Mute. When this bit is set to “1,” the channel is muted.

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

Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in virtualbox package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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.
