Public bug reported:

I am running Ubuntu-eee 8.04.01 on an eee pc 901. When adjusting the
volume using either the volume slider on the taskbar, or the Fn hotkeys,
the maximum volume is fairly loud, but not that loud.

However, if the volume is turned up as loud as possible on the slider,
and then I press the Fn+F7 mute key to mute the sound, and then un-mute
it the sound is SIGNIFICANTLY louder.

It behaves as though the volume slider/hotkeys have their maximum set to
only 70% or so of the actual hardware volume, but when un-muting it
actually goes to 100%.

Can anyone  else reproduce this bug on their 901, or on other eee
models?

I would be happy to investigate a workaround for this, if somebody could
point me to some resources about how volume levels are managed?

So not a serious problem at all, but a bit annoying. Thanks for all the
great work, Ubuntu-eee developers!
