Sound volume control is a frequent problem for new users..
Ok from a terminal 'aumix'
move the pointer to the level you prefer (I found 30 to 50% was about
right for me.)
Tap the 's' key to save the results. This leaves a file called
'.aumixrc'
in the your home directory.
Now copy that file to /etc -
'cp ./.aumixrc /etc/aumixrc' (lose quotes)
Note that I removed the invisibility '.' in the process.
'chown root.root /etc/aumixrc' (lose quotes)
Edit /etc/rc.d/rc.local and add the line 'aumix -L' (lose quotes) to the
very end of the file.
That should fix it.
Cheers
