Description Bernardo Quibiana 2008-01-22 01:49:32 UTC 
Version:           0.2 (using 3.5.8, Kubuntu (gutsy) 4:3.5.8-0ubuntu3.1)
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.22-14-generic

I installed Kubuntu on my computer running Windows XP, and Kubuntu works great except that system sound is too low. The current maximun volume is less than a third of sound card. Even when I am playing audio  or video files at current 100%, the sound is still too low. I installed "aumix" and "tkmixer", yet the sound doesn't turn up even at system settings test.

I am also getting the same problem in sound output from Kubuntu. But I am not running windows :-)

OS: Kubuntu, KDE 3.5.9
KMIX: 2.6.1
Supported Sound Drivers: ALSA + OSS
Hardware: Asus A7Jc (notebook)

I tried both ALSA, OSS and Threaded OSS settings, no discernible difference in output with Master, PCM and Front sliders up full at 100%

You should try with newer kernel version with an updated support for hda-intel audio. It is not a problem of kde.

Thanks!
