I don't have experience with afplay but I have a script to play an mp3 file every morning using quicktime that takes _two_ volume settings to work, viz:
...
property sysVolMax : 100
property qtVolMax : 256
-- Set System Volume to Max
set saveSysVol to output volume of (get volume settings)
set volume output volume sysVolMax
...
tell application "QuickTime Player 7"
...
set sound volume of document 1 to qtVolMax
...
end tell
Notice that the max system volume is 100 while the max QT volume is 256. I wrote this script some time ago, so I don't remember the details of how I figured out the volume settings or why I had to set both but I remember it was a pain. Never the less it works and wakes me up every morning :-)
Hope that helps. _______________________________________________
