I have found the volume on the output jacks to be quite soft. 100% (master, front, clfe, surround) volume in alsamixer gives the same volume as 60% percent using a soundblaster card (driver CA0106). Is it a known issue with realtek ALC888 hardware that the output volume is generally lower? Or perhaps there is some "gain" setting I can use for the pin config?
