Public bug reported:
Setting the volume to 100% on the Master channel of my Terratec Aureon
7.1 Space (ICE1724) equals a gain of +128 dB which makes the sound
distorted:
r...@runescomp:~$ amixer -c 1 sset Master 100%
Simple mixer control 'Master',0
Capabilities: pvolume pswitch
Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right

Mono:

Front Right: Playback 255 [100%] [128.00dB] [on]
0 dB gain is around 50% (but not quite):
