sound distorted


I've install Debian 7.8.0 on my Toshiba laptop
Several issues, but I'll submit them one-by-

system sound is badly distorted: i.e. the login jingle
is hardly recocogniable. However Kaffeine will play
CD's very nicely.

Check your output levels -- make sure they are not above 0dB (100%) as this will cause clipping.

Solved!
The problem was the master volume control was set too high.
Surprising, since I had not changed this, the volume controls
were set for Wheezy ages ago.
