Very quiet sound in LXDE

[David_J_D]

With the speakers up full it's at a quiet 'Background' level using intel HDA driver (snd_hda_intel[ALSA])

BUT, on the same box in 'PCLOS fall magic Enlightenment' sound is spot on using the same driver (Also sound OK in Win7).

Here's the soundcard details:

Both LXDE and Enlightenment are fully up to date (updated earlier today)
Why the difference between PCLOS installs when the only difference is the DE?

David_J_D:

You need to adjust the sliders on whatever sound mixer is being used. Mine looks like this;

I should have said that I've already tried that.  With sliders on Max I still get very quiet sound in LXDE.

Have you run alsaconf as root?

You could try installing aumix-text in both DEs (shouldn't have much in the way of dependencies), and then check (in each DE) that the same channels are available, and set to the same levels...

Running alsaconf as root did the trick, I must have had a brain-dead moment there.
 Many thanks Old Polack.
