I'm getting [i]extremely[/i] low audio, both through the laptops speakers and with headphones when I tried them. I have the volume kicked up to the max, but when I play music or videos, I can barely hear them. When I use Vista, the audio is fine, so I don't think it could be a hardware issue. Suggestions?

Type: alsamixer Make sure the volume is turned up for both the Master and PCM channels. Exit and type: sudo alsactl store This will save your volume settings.
