Comment 3 for bug 864379

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. Maybe the problem is relevant to the kernel 3.0.
