It seems that PA refuses to use the maximum hardware volume of my sound card

sliders in pavucontrol set to 100%, but PA only uses 40% (-20db) on the
hardware mixer. [...]
Which control are you raising? Maybe it is not in the default mixer
path known to pulseaudio?
The control is named "Master Front".
Isn't PA supposed to use 0db on the hardware by itself?
It is. Please try to fix it without sudo, as follows:
alsamixer -c0
and of course without killing pulseaudio. This way, it will remember
the volume change, as it came from user input. How do the sliders in
pavucontrol move during that command?
Ah thanks. Didn't know about this switch. This presents the same mixer
controls as without PA running.
None of the controls in alsamixer move when I move the slider in
pavucontrol, and none of the pavucontrol sliders move when I change the
"Master Front" volume in alsamixer.
