You should provide more details when you ask a question. For example when you say that you have checked all of the settings what do you mean? Did you run alsamixergui? If not then try that. When the window appears check to see if the volume for each channel and for each device is at the maximum value (all the way up). Also make sure that none of the channels or devices are muted. Look for a check box for that, just like in Windows.
