Comment 17 for bug 64356

I have experienced this issue with any ICH chipset. The main speaker volume is barely audible from 2m away under any linux distro but it sounds like a disco under windows. All outputs are set to 100% on amix and the problem is desktop-independent. I believe it all started with the 2.6 kernels and ALSA so I suspect it is a driver problem. I am now using jaunty, by the way, but I have been exeriencing this problem for a long time.
