Going off on a tangent, I have an Audigy 2 which is quite nice and has a 
fantastic DAC on it and I have it connected to an old analog receiver that 
acts as an amplifier. 

Under Windows XP, it's also very loud. Under everything else (including newer 
Windowses), it's a lot quieter. I have to turn up the volume on the receiver 
considerably to get the same output. Of course that introduces noise from the 
receiver.

I don't suppose anyone here knows of a way to boost its output under Alsa to 
something comparable to the Windows XP setting? I haven't been able to find 
anything too useful myself.

Thanks.
