	I want to add the results of a few simple tests:

	1. Reverting only linux-2.6.25-rc6/sound/pci/hda/hda_intel.c to the
	   2.6.24.2 version had no effect (sound was still very quiet).

	2. Reverting linux-2.6.25-rc6/sound/pci/hda/*.[ch] to their
	   2.6.24.2 versions worked (i.e., sound was lound again).

	3. Other quick attempts at reverting various subsets of
 	   linux/sound/pci/hda/*.[ch] have resulted only in compilation
	   errors.
