The first step would be to see if it's even an ALSA issue. With flash video (youtube) there's a speaker icon and a slider which affects the volume. I recently noticed hulu had my levels way low with such an icon. With mplayer there's a softvol option which might differ from the levels set in alsa. And of course alsamixer to actually set your levels. Make sure those are appropriate for what you're trying to do. If they aren't, then technically nothing is broke and nothing needs fixing. If the levels are set and maxed out and the problem persists, then it could be an alsa issue. Although I'd extract the audio content being played and look at it in audacity to see if it's not just the content to verify the potential source. Just a power user here and nothing really current version wise on my end to have that issue or know much about it myself. But it'd be nice to know how to fix it, if I do run into it.
