CAUSE

The Gravis Ultrasound Classic, Max, and Ace sound cards do not support master volume control.

MORE INFORMATION

The Gravis Ultrasound Classic, Max, and Ace sound cards are based on the GF1 chip set. The Gravis drivers for the GF1 chip set automatically disable the master volume control options in Windows 95 because these sound cards do not support this feature.
