Sound Not Very Loud in V. 13.06

Hi, I have a 400 watt stereo powering the sound on my PC and I have the power amp up half way and the taskbar volume up about 85% and it is at a good listening level. But if I boot up into another distro, it BLASTS me away!!

What’s up with the sound in 13.06?

Have you checked Mixer and turned up all sliders, especially the PCM?

They were all the way up except the master was at 85%. But the 15%
left didn’t do much.

there might still be some (hidden) sliders down, depending on your setup:

Yah… mic and mic boost. That’s it.
