Speakers and headphones plays on low volume after update from 11.04 to 11.10

[Steffen Holanger]

My speakers and headphones used to be able to play perfectly loud and clear. After I updated from 11.04 to 11.10 I can hardly hear any thing. I've checked all preferences in the sound menu and all the programs that I usually play my media through, but I cant find the source for the problem. The volume is on high in all the programs and the main controller but still the sound is very low. I can hear some sound if I but my ear right next to the speakers but that's all.

Don't know if I submitted the right packages or not. Tell me if you need further information.
