Re: [orca-list] does gnome have two sound volumes?

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

Yes, and then it is possible to set things up to use volumes higher than 100%, at least on some sound cards, 
so you can get numbers higher than that 
65000 level. The indicator will still have 0-10 though, can't remember if in these cases the indicator uses 
percentage of the new above 100%, (yeah, 
makes no logical sense), volumes or not, think so though, but as the speakers on the hardware I have now 
can't handle the volume the system can generate 
I've not messed wiht  the higher than 100% volumes lately.
