I also experience very low volume with a diamond monstersound mx300.
Estimate one quarter to one third of what it should be. I know of one
other au8830 based card with the same result. Don't know if it's an
mx300. I might be able to find out if it would be helpfull.
This is very similar to the problem I have experienced with aureal's dos
mode sb16 emulation tsr.
