Yes it defaults at 70% volume in pav and at that level is about equal volume to 
my audigy 1 which defaults to 100% (both in the same machine).  The intel chip 
has higher pitch though with the steady state sine input from the sound 
preferences but it is plenty loud.  Its a Dell precision 340 tower with intel 
82801ba-ich2 audio.
