Low Volume
 

My laptop (Dell LX702x) is setup as a dual-boot, Win7 and Slackware 13.37_64bit.
The only issue I'm currently having at the moment is low volume. Regardless of file type or player I can not get near the same volume level as I get under Windows.

The audio chipset is a Realtek ALC665. How, if possible, does one pump up the volume?

I would like to remove Windows completely, but, until this annoyance is figured out I can't.
This laptop is my source of entertainment when I travel....

Run the command and look if the soundlevels are maxed out.

Thank you TobiSGD, that showed the issue. Master was 100%, Speakers were 100%, but Front was only 50%.

Front wasn't visible on the GUI version of the mixer (didn't know I needed it), I added it, turned it up and now all is well.

Again, thank you...

Here is a script I use to set the volume quickly:

#!/bin/sh

amixer -c 0 sset Master,0 $1%,$1% unmute
amixer -c 0 sset PCM,0 $1%,$1% unmute

amixer -c 0 sset Mic,0 0,0
amixer -c 0 sset Beep,0 0,0

Name the script setvol and use it like:

setvol 70
