Konstantin, the volume level is really silent compared to the output
level of the onboard AC97 codec or the Creative Audigy SE/LS (with OSS
driver, not working anymore in FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT).
My amplification facility of the HiFi equipment is set to half full
amplification and normally this would blast my neighbour's ears ;-) But
with the M-Audio Revo 5.1 it is just 'silent', just for smooth
listening. It is definitely too silent.
I can mute with 0 and half the volume by setting mixer/pcm/volume level
to 50 or yield another percentage setting any value 0 < X <= 100, X for
volume/percentage.
I use the green outlet for my HiFi facility.

If you expect me test anything for you, let me know.

Oliver
