Right click on the speaker icon in the top right corner of your Gnome 
desktop, and choose "Open Volume Control" Ctrl+O.
Then, on the volume control box, unlock the CD sliders and move up as 
suits.

I don't know why this is the default setting - it seems an odd choice. 
Bug report? In the FAQ at least.
