Sound much to quiet in Slack 12

I use Slackware 12. Everything is working fine, but the sound is much to quiet. On the same Machine with Slackware 11 there is no problem.

I turned on everything to the max in alsamixer and then made an "alsactl store". In KDE Mixer I also put the loudness to the max and the loudness-controller of my speakers also.

I CAN hear sounds (example KDE-Start, Amarok), but much to quiet. What am I doing wrong or what did I forget ?

Hi

Do non-kde/command line programs like ogg123 show the same behaviour?

What type of computer are you using?

Did you try testing this with different headphones or speakers?

I recently upgraded to 12 and did not have the same problem.

I tried with ogg123 on the command line, but the sound is to quiet, too. I installed Slack12 on a different (brand new) machine (my computer at home is 2001) and the behaviour is the same.

What I noticed on my home-pc is in Slack11 a kernel message "via southbridge workaround enabled", which is missing on Slack12.

Maybe there is something missing and must be compiled into the kernel.

The problem is not so urgent; a lot of other work to do. I'm shure, there will be a solution.
