I've had the same problem with a Dell XPS M1530 running 9.04. Music playback was quiet but just about usable, DVD playback volume barely audible (unusable). After a visit to the ALSA project site I used the alsamixer command and maxed out all the settings. This seems to have sorted or at least improved the situation - will need to boot into Vista to compare the volume but is much better both for music files and DVD playback. I'm new to Linux, trying to decide if it is a real alternative to Windows for home desktop use. My initial impressions have been very good and I already hate having to boot back into Vista so I've been fairly determined to overcome the glitches I've had but this one in particular would, if its widespread, be a real barrier to anyone either less determined or less technical adopting Linux as their OS of choice.
