I have seen this a few times now and I wonder what serial number your
rig is?  There is a mod to increase the audio power in the archives.
Personally, #4044 has more than enough audio and I have never had it
more than about half way up, even when operating outside!  If it gets
noisy I use a headset (Heil) and I am fine.
Is it just my rig then or does the audio vary so much?
