When I received my MPower transplant from Humanware the volume in the options menu was already set to 5.
I think they may have set this up in the later transplants but can't be sure of that. I fully expected it to be set at 3 as has been reported here and was surprised when I found it already set at 5. My transplant was done around the end of the year.

I suppose that's a matter of hardware then and couldn't be fixed in a later software release?
