[ubuntu-in] Audio too low

[consoleart]

Hi again,

I have been using Ubuntu 8.10 for more than a week now, it was a great 
experience so far.

I started realizing that my laptop(HP dv5) audio is too low, some of the 
movies which works well with windows play with terrible audio(that is 
too low to hear), iam able to just listen to the audio only with my full 
volume UP. However in windows this was not the case, even when my volumn 
is 50% iam able to hear it loud and clear. Is there any setting that I 
need to alter to make my laptop audio work reallly good !!!

Regards
Jag
