Hi!
i have posted previously about my sound issues here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1254508) to which i had no response... so i have gathered some more (hopefully helpful) information to see if this can be solved :)
I am running: kernal 2.6.28-15-server as a small web host and fileserver, which provides a media function to my TV via xbmc (http://xbmc.org/), my s-video output and the sound hooked up to an amp. The problem i am having is that although the sound works it is soooo quiet that i have to have the amp on max to hear anything! and even then, when watching a movie it can still be almost inaudable dialogue.
I already have alsa-base and alsamixer and pulseaudio installed - and turned up;) so i have looked at all the other threads with "sound" in the title, and hopefully some of this info will help to solve my problem :)
