    Sound volume boost

    Hi.

    My volume is below what seems to be max in other operating systems.

    Any hints on boosting output sound volume or a hardware hack or something?

    ~$ aplay -l

      This is worth checking, in case there is a special module for your Lenovo:

      Maybe "model=lenovo"?

        Thanks, but my sound card is working. I am only looking for a volume boost if possible.

        I tried to add model = lenovo but nothing changed.

          I dunno why your Master gain says 0. Mine says 13.50 dB, but it looks like yours.

              Thanks.

              Do you have any idea where to change the master gain?

                I use alsamixergui -- but I'm sure there is something happening "underneath" it.
