Depending on the particular audio hardware/driver, I've found that I
sometimes need to enable more than just the PCM control. On one machine,
the name of one of the limiting volume controls was actually "Front". In
that sort of case, I've found it helpful to simply enable all "tracks"
in the volume control preferences and tweak each one individually until
I get the result I'm looking for.
