Sparc Classic

System: NetBSD nova.3do.com 1.2 NetBSD 1.2 (NOVA) #17: Wed Oct 30 10:25:58 PST 1996 nsayer@nova.3do.com:/usr/src/sys/arch/sparc/compile/NOVA sparc


>Description:

The default gain curve in amd7930.c has too much of a delta between 0 and 1,
so that the minimum volume is already quite high (at least through the sparc
classic's internal speaker.

>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:

I replaced the first line of the table, which was

        0x9008, 0x8b7c, 0x8b51, 0x8b45, 0x8b42, 0x8b3b, 0x8b36, 0x8b33,

with

        0x9008, 0x8e7c, 0x8e51, 0x8e45, 0x8d42, 0x8d3b, 0x8c36, 0x8c33,

which bends the curve down at the tail a bit more sharply.
