I'm running Kanotix. I have an Asus A7V8X-X motherboard with onboard sound. After booting, I ran alsaconf as root and there was sound (and yea, the people did rejoice ). But the sound is soft. Very, very soft. I turned the volume on the speakers way up high to max. I opened kmix and uamix and did the same. The sound remained very soft.
Can anyone suggest a way to get it louder? What info can I post to help analyse the problem?

You could buy powered speakers instead of relying only on the weak signal coming off the sound card.
Check your volume in alsamixer, open a terminal and type alsamixer you don't need to be root. Make sure your main volume is turned up. It's been awhile ago (maybe 2+ yrs.) but I had the same problem and it had to do with KDE using arts and not alsa.
