Hi,

I've booted OS X and left the sound muted while restarting. Now nvsetvol
shows -8.

# nvsetvol
current volume is -8

What does this mean?

Bye, Joerg.

I didn't know that handy little utility...
But then I checked, and nowhere in its manpage is mentionned the
possibility of it displaying a "-8"...
Since I get the same value when running it, I'm getting curious...

Thanks,

Which part of the manpage says what's the meaning of -8. And, well, the
manpage negates the existence of -8.

Joerg.
