Ubuntu feisty volume too quiet?

Just in case someone else comes looking for the solution to this problem like I did tonight I found this link by googling a little.

Here’s the solution if you don’t like clicking…

Try adding this to your /etc/modprobe.d/options (or alsa-base) file:

options snd-hda-intel model=XXX

Replace XXX with one of the quoted values in the list below (remove the quotes)

“3stack” - 3-jack
“3stack-dig” - 3-jack with SPDIF I/O
“6stack-dig” - 6-jack with SPDIF I/O
“auto” - auto-config reading BIOS (default)

I used the “3stack” option for my Toshiba Satellite laptop with Intel hda audio and it worked perfectly.
