Only the PCM control changes sound volume, the master volume control does nothing.
Comment 1 Takashi Iwai 2005-09-01 12:27:07 UTC 
Attach /proc/asound/card0/codec97#0/* files.

First thing to try is to adjust "Headphone" instead of "Master".  If this
changes the volume, try to add ac97_quirk=hp_only module option to snd-intel8x0.

Comment 4 Gernot Payer 2005-09-01 12:43:37 UTC 
Yes, "Headphones" was the inofficial master control. After adding the suggested module option 
everything works now as expected. :-)
Comment 5 Takashi Iwai 2005-09-01 12:53:56 UTC 
Thanks for confirmation.  I'll add the entry for this device to the whitelist in
the driver.
Comment 6 Takashi Iwai 2005-09-01 13:16:56 UTC 
The patch was committed to kernel CVS.
