Ubuntu 8.04. Low Volume.

[Jayce]

My laptop's sound card wasn't supported on Gutsy and after weeks of trying I gave up and resorted back to XP. 8.04 Heron came out the other day so I loaded it on my laptop.

Now, I have sound. Sweet!

Except, it's kind of quiet. Max volume on the onboard controls as well as in Audacious yields in an estimated max volume of about 1/3 of what XP puts out with the same controls.

What can I do?

Go to ubuntu forums and ask there?

With the new release many of us have not yet even gotten it installed let alone had a chance to mess with it in depth to answer to many questions about it right now.

Open the terminal and use the "sudo alsamixer".

Do as farinha said, or you could use gnome-volume-control. Pretty much the same thing, only with a GUI.

Oh, right. Mental note Jayce: Anytime something new comes out, don't even bother asking questions until everybody else does.

Scratch that. I'll take my chances.

ON TOPIC:

Yeah, I did that. Everything is maxed out.

It isnt that. I would haev been able to help you out. But even my download was corrupted and i had to redownload it. I didnt even get mine installed to give a answer to any 8.04 questions till about 3 days ago. Just the way of things when a new version is put out.

Sorry i know it stinks.
