Public bug reported: Sony vaio model #vgc-rb60g alsamixer & sound settings & my speakers have everything turned all the way up, but the volume is still very quiet. Since this is a desktop, I am using the headphone jack to plug up my speakers. The speakers have their own AC power source. Windows XP was the sole OS on this PC, but I wiped it out with Ubuntu, In Windows, the volume worked perfectly. All my hardware, wires, etc are connected properly, tried 3 sets of speakers & they are all the same.
I also updated my drivers following these directions Audio/InstallingLinuxAlsaDriverModules https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/InstallingLinuxAlsaDriverModules Volume is still very quiet.
