If I do this:
1. Open Application -> Sound & Video -> PulseAudio Device Chooser
   2. Click on the "PulseAudio Applet" on the system tray and open "Manager".
   3. Click on the "Devices" tab, select "alsa_output.pci_8086_284b_sound_card_0_alsa_playback_0.monitor" which is the "Monitor Source of ALSA..."
   4. Click properties and set the volume to greater then 100%.
   5. Play some music while you do step 4. above and you'll notice a volume increase.

But as we interested to increase the volume of the input sound I try in step 3.

   3. Click on the "Devices" tab, select "alsa_input.pci_8086_284b_sound_card_0_alsa_capture.monitor"
   4. Why is it not possible to set the volume greater then 100% with alsa_input selected?

 Is this related to the low mic input?

see attached screen pic. Note the barely seen Pulse Audio volume meter bars.
