Created attachment 341703 [details] alsa-info, amixer_before, amixer_after Description of problem: The sound level is very low. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: 100% on my system (Gigabyte GA-Q35M-S2/ICH9DO/ALC888) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set all output sound volume regulators in gnome volume control & PulseAudio Volume Control to maximum. 2. Load any audio/video file in kplayer/amarok/Rhytmbox music player 3. Set sound volume of kplayer/amarok/Rhytmbox music player to maximum level and try to hear anything. Actual results: Output sound level is 10-15% from sound level under win2003 on the same output. Expected results: Output sound level is 100% from sound level under win2003 on the same output. Additional info: Headphones in green jack on rear panel. After adjusting sound level in "alsamixer -c0" problem is gone.
Please do not attach zip files. That makes it very difficult to have a look into them. Could you please reattach those files seperately?

Jaroslav, was this one done in 1.0.20?
The alsa-utils-1.0.20-3 package should fix this issue. Reopen this bug if the problem persist.
