I have the same problem (audio playback very quiet)
on my Thinkpad X60. First, I made sure the mic was enabled per http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/12/05/fixing-the-errant-microphone/
Then I fired up audacity and recorded a test phrase.
It showed up loud and clear, but when I clicked play,
it played back far too quietly.
