Comment 48 for bug 271519

I think the problem is not just appearing on ubuntu distro but also on most distros' latest version. I tried ubuntu 11,debian 6,Fedora 16, linuxmint 12 archlinux etc,and all of them had low volume compared with windows7. The maximum volume is just like whispering especially on those laptops with intel onboard audio. Added "options snd-hda-intel model=auto/dell/laptop/acer/rel/dell-s14/hp-dm42/.../......" to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf without effect. All of sliders in "alsamixer" were moved to maximum without effect. Why the bug is still persisting nowadays?
