Yes, that is his goal. I found that when I used the initial setting per Curtis, I was only enabling the left speaker (channel), so I added the rest. I then set the preferred volume. I currently have no hardware volume control except for mute; the up/down buttons have no effect, and I guess this is due to ACPI.
    

Ahh... This raises a whole new point that I'd never thought to mention
before!

I have been getting volume control on my TPads, along with [supposedly]
and indication of the setup for the display device by using:
    "On Screen Display utility for most Thinkpad laptops"
It works off of the blue ThinkVantage button and the normal volume
control buttons.  I used it regularly with my A30p.  Of course, it
never worked on the T60 until the recent advances in UniAud.  The only
function that really seems to work now is the volume control.  But, it
does work!

  
Does it really work?? I hadn't thought to install it because I remember Jan saying that it was ignorant of ACPI. I'll give it a shot!!

Thanks for the tip!
More specifics...
