Hi all,

when running Sarge on my laptop, kernel 2.6.7-1-686 and alsa 1.0.5, I
had no problem with this. But now I'm running Ubuntu Hoary, which uses
2.6.10-1-386 and alsa 1.0.8, and sound volume is unusable low.
As you can see, all mixers are at 100% and unmuted:

$ amixer |grep Playback
  Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
  Limits: Playback 0 - 31
  Front Left: Playback 31 [100%] [on]
  Front Right: Playback 31 [100%] [on]
  Playback channels: Mono
  Limits: Playback 0 - 31
  Mono: Playback 31 [100%] [on]
  Playback channels: Mono
  Playback channels: Mono
  Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
  Limits: Playback 0 - 31
  Front Left: Playback 31 [100%] [on]
  Front Right: Playback 31 [100%] [on]
  Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
  Limits: Playback 0 - 31
  Front Left: Playback 31 [100%] [on] Capture [off]
  Front Right: Playback 31 [100%] [on] Capture [off]
  Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
  Limits: Playback 0 - 31
  Front Left: Playback 31 [100%] [on] Capture [off]
  Front Right: Playback 31 [100%] [on] Capture [off]
  Playback channels: Mono
  Limits: Playback 0 - 31
  Mono: Playback 31 [100%] [on]
  Playback channels: Mono
  Mono: Playback [on]
  Playback channels: Mono
  Limits: Playback 0 - 31
  Mono: Playback 31 [100%] [on]
  Playback channels: Mono
  Limits: Playback 0 - 15
  Mono: Playback 15 [100%] [off]
  Playback channels: Mono
  Mono: Playback [on]

Alsa uses the maestro3 driver:

$ lsmod |grep snd
snd_maestro3           21796  2
snd_ac97_codec         64608  1 snd_maestro3
snd_pcm_oss            47652  1
snd_mixer_oss          16768  2 snd_pcm_oss
snd_pcm                84872  3 snd_maestro3,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss
snd_timer              23300  1 snd_pcm
snd_page_alloc          9604  1 snd_pcm
snd                    50276  6
snd_maestro3,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer
soundcore               9824  3 snd

Is there anything I can do about it apart from restoring my sarge
backup? Is there a software to increase volume independently from other
applications?

Best regards,

Marius
