WMP plays the sound noticeably louder.  The inside gain function works
as expected.  Another thing I notice is that the sound doesn't sound
the same between the apps, where the OpenAL apps seem to have lower
highs on top of the overall lower volume.

I was using drivers that were several years old, I updated and the
problem is not resolved.  The new drivers also created other new
problems unrelated to OpenAL, so I had to return to the previous
drivers.
