FWIW, if you use kmix to raise the volume, also check aumix. A few
times in the past, I'd set the volume to 100% in kmix, only to find
the speaker levels (spkr) in aumix were at something like 60%. I only
got full volume by raising the levels in both kmix and aumix to 100%.
After that, I could adjust volume using just kmix (docked into the
panel).
