IIRC the buzz fix reduces the sensitivity of the mic input slightly.

Controls 48 and 12 are on maximum, while control 5 has 12 steps remaining. You 
still have scope to make the mic a fair bit louder if you need to. 3, 5 and 
121 would give the same volume level with less chance of distortion. 

Desc.			Range				Chan	Setting
Mic2 Capture Volume	+12dB - +30dB / 6dB steps	48	0-3
Mono Sidetone Play Vol.	-15dB - +6dB / 3dB steps	12	0-7
Mono Playback Volume	-73dB - +6dB / 1dB steps	5	0-127 (but 0-47 are mute)

Overall:
-76dB - +42dB / 1dB steps => 119 steps (120 with mute)
