Hi list,

Is there a way to boost the system sound volume? Playing DVDs in VLC
with the alsa, pulseaudio, and vlc volumes all maxed out is still about
30-40% of max volume in 'doze. I don't like pulseaudio, but for some
reason skype doesn't work without it, and my family won't allow me to
not have working skype, so for now I'm stuck with it...

Thanks!

Sounds like one of the mixer lines isn't turned all the way up. Run alsamixer from a terminal, and make sure all the controls are turned up to the max.
