Thanks David! You know, I had tried almost everything. Finally instead of using alsamixer and aumix, I right-clicked on the speaker icon in my toolbar, and chose Properties. When I used alsamixer, I couldn't raise ANY of the EQ0 through EQ9 values, but when using the extended Volume Control, I could! So I raised them all, and what do you know? Sweet beautiful sound. Ahhhhhhhh.
