Have you tried checking the volume levels with alsamixer and PulseAudio volume control?

Including PulseAudio's own volume control applet (package pavucontrol)?

[sojourner (itsmealso2)]

installed pavucontrol ,my default sound card is not
shown in "output devices" only device shown is set to
100% , no change except that system>prefs>sound set
to pulse audio server > test now produces a loud
sound , sound through apps still low. question if pavu
control is necessary for pulse audio why is it not
installed by default ?

It's not absolutely necessary, but it will be installed by default.

[sojourner (itsmealso2)]

it was NOT installed by default I had to use synaptic
to install it.

I didn't say that it should be, but that it will be (in the final release, according to the cleanup-audio-jumble spec [1])

further info pavucontrol is listed as a "suggests" in
the dependencies of pulse audio . I went ahead and
installed all of the suggests and recomends now pulse
audio will not test connection refused pavucontrol
will not run connection refused
