What kind of input are you connecting to?  If it is a line in then I am
surprised if the volume level is too low.

If it is a mic in or other input, then that may be the problem.  I have
never had any issue with any system getting enough volume on the line out.
Noise yes, but not lack of volume.

Things that can cause noise are the other inputs to the sound chip
as well, so muting all those tends to be a good idea if you aren't
using them.
