Very low sound output

subScript · 2012-10-04 04:37:52

Good evening #! users. This is my first 'Main' Linux OS, and I am having an issue here. My sound is abnormally low, my speakers are max and I can barily listen to music effectively. On the sound icon, the slider is at the top (maxed) and in the mixer, I have HD ATI SB(Also mixer) set to highest, and I am on PCM setting.

Any help guys?

^ Load alsamixer in terminal and take a look in there for anything that looks to be low and raise it up.

You may need to hit F6 to select your card.

The thing is, I do not know how to 'Load alsamixer in terminal' because I am new to Linux, it's my second day.

Could you elaborate?
