max sound volume

[Ken Gosier]

Just to introduce, my name is Ken Gosier, I am a
newbie to this list, have been lurking for a week or
two. I am an (almost) newbie to Linux, and I have an
(almost) newbie question:

I have a Toshiba laptop, dual-boot into Win98 and RH
6.0. I'm setting up sound for it. I did everything in
all the manuals fine, so now I have sound and can
listen to CD's etc.

The problem is, the max sound volume on the Win98 half
of my machine is *much* louder than on the Linux side.
With the control all the way up on Linux, the volume
is OK, but not really satisfying.

What I've done so far:

-- I've used the mixer applet, the volume control of
the CD player application - I've set the volume to max
on all of these, and I also put the computer's
external volume control all the way up.
(In other words, I've read all the manuals that came
in the box with the Red Hat CD's :)

-- I looked into the LDP Sound HOWTO, but nothing
there seemed to address this issue.

So anyway, here's some technical info I got from
windows:

Win98 is running sound with the Yamaha OPL3-SAx WDM
driver, provided by Microsoft.
The I/O Range is 0220-022F
The IRQ is 05
The DMA is 01 (and 00, I'm pretty sure.)

TIA for any help--
