A very wild guess, not tested on a thin client, but it's happened me on a
desktop.

 - if you double click on the sound icon in the tray, the volume control
   center should pop up.
 - try raising each of the tracks which are visible (Master, PCM seem the
   most likely)
 - if you don't get any joy then click edit->preferences you may see a
   bunch of tracks which are not visible and which you can check to turn
   on.

 - if the above doesn't help, login to the thin client text console and run
   alsamixer.

These aren't solutions, but if you can get to the point of knowing why the
volume is low, then perhaps we can work on a more automatic way to fix it.
