I did hear that they lowered the volume.  The idea was that the old
volume was dangeriously loud if someone plugged in headphones. 

Seems they figured that you couldn't drive *much* of a speaker at the
old level so they threw in a resistor-or-two to make it at least
useable as a multi-thousand dollar Walkman.

I guess you will have to get a pair of amplified speakers.  Apple
*once* sold Bose Roommates just for such use--but that's a different
subject.
