Ubuntu Multimedia :: Volume Range Incorrect / Correct It?

I spent hours and hours digging through this thread, and other random ones, where everything succeeds. I have an onboard Intel ICH6. Its details are located at: http://alsa-project.org/main/index.p...x:Vendor-Intel (btw, the part of about going and finding your chipset from a dropdown and the green text is a broken link. I think it should point here, instead: http://alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Main).

My resolution ended up being, in the sound preferences, to change the Connector under Output from "Analog Output/Amplifier" to "Analog Mono Output/Amplifier" (No Amplifier works too).

I didn't find this advice anywhere. I was going to give up, and was poking around, and saw the mono options. Since onboard speakers are mono, I gave these choices a try. So, hopefully, this helps someone else. I appreciate this sticky; maybe there should be some information about how to find the appropriate sound settings in the guide ... somewhere in the beginning, around where you should check that your volume is up and your mute is off

This is a quote from sound solutions thread. i had this problem too with ICH6 but now that i have sound i have a new issue. While a normal sound range is 0-100% my sound range is about 0-10% meaning that about if i put my volume on 3% it it as loud as about 30% should be normally.
