Registers AUDV0 and AUDV1 control the audio volume registers which set the pull down impedance driving the audio output pads.
Volume
Volume is controlled by writing to a 4 bit audio volume register (AUDV0, AUDV1). Writing 0 to these registers turns sound off completely, and writing any value up to 15 increases the volume accordingly.

SECAM Compatibility
SECAM machines use PAL software with one exception. when a sound is to be turned off, it must be one by setting AUDV0/AUDV1 to 0, not by setting AUDC0/AUDC1 to 0. Otherwise, you get an obnoxious background sound.
