Hi,
some strange behavior i came across regarding Sound in Xubuntu 12.10 on an Alienware M17x R3 Laptop.
Using the internal Speakers, even on loudest settings (also checked alsamixer) is not nearly als loud as it is in Windows.
Id also checked if there is any loudness Plugin or so running in Windows, and its not, so id guess its something in the used driver or so.
Beside that, sound isnt as good as it is windows, it just has a lot more "power" there.

Code:
Audio device: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 05)

In the configuration in Xfce i have set "Barts HDMI Audio (Radeon HD 6800 Series)" to Off and "Built in Audio" to Analog Stereo Output".
In Windows its running as "IDT High Definition Audio CODEC"
Glad if anyone could help me on this
