Sound Volume on Feisty thin-clients

[David Trask]

That did the trick, however...now for part 2.  I need to boost the "base
level" of the volume.  Changing to the "Pulseaudio playback" gave me the
ability to turn the volume up and down, but I cannot turn it up enough. 
It needs to be louder....any ideas?
