I did "aumix -q" and got this:
vol 100,100
And that's it. I guess I'm supposed to interpret this as
meaning volume is the only thing I have control over and
it's all the way up.
I found this in a TuxPPC forum:

Anyone have any comments? Would I be out of line if I complained
to YDL about this? I mean, it seems like instead of saying
"iBook1 sound is supported" they should be saying something like
"iBook1 sound is sorta kinda supported in the loosest sense of the
word."
Cheers,
