Ooops, sorry, I think it got lost in the text.

THe main problem is the very low volume, even though everything's is cranked as high as possible.
I've checked the alsamixer settings, all at 100%.

I followed the 6 step process on the ubuntu help page and posted the results above

The built-in microphone also seems to stop working so, apps such as Skype don't work properly.

CPU is powerful enough so am a bit stuck. I use the in-built sound card, not the HDMI adapter.

Try:

gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

add this line:

options snd-hda-intel model=laptop

Save the new file and reboot, does it help?

Thanks for your quick response.

Actually, it didn't make any difference. The overall volume is still quite low, so everything needs to be cranked right up to get something audible.

I used to use version 7 of Ubuntu and it seemed ok there on my quite ancient laptop. Now I have a fairly new laptop (Samsung 423) but whatever I try the volume always seems pretty low, even through headphones. I do have Windows installed on here too, and the sound is fine but my preference is for Ubuntu so I'm just curious to understand how I can up the sound levels a bit.

Thanks for your ongoing support and assistance.

can you try to crack up the applications in gnome-volume-control and see whether it helps your issue?

If not, try a alsamixer -c 0 to crank things up in there.

Thanks for these tips. I've turned everything I can up, and it does seem to help a bit.

Great assistance again.
