 > What about users with weak ears (or weak hardware) who had already set
 the volume level at 100% -- are they now expected to increase their volume
 setting to 120% ?

 There are two separate issues here in two different tickets (at least how
 I read them; pardon me if I'm wrong).  This ticket is about software
 upgrades reducing the audio level on the XO-1, and the "Capture" AC97
 control relates to recording.

 When a XO-1 has this control set lower by default in 10.1.2/.3 versus an
 XO-1 in 8.1.2 having the control by default at 100%, the recording level
 went down as one might expect.  Setting the Capture control identically at
 100% prior to starting the Record activity solved much if not all of the
 issue.

 Ticket #10235 deals with the difference in XO 1.5/1.0 audio levels, and
 they have different audio chipsets/mixers/etc, with the XO-1.5 showing
 less mixer controls to work with & tweak.  That is a more complex issue to
 deal with.
