Check that you have the right volume slider at the right level - i know 
itr sounds obvious but some of these sound cards have lots and lots of 
vol levels, some for OSS and some for ALSA. ALSA is your best bet - OSS 
was the older sound mechanism.

If you're using Ubuntu, double click the vol control next to the date. 
then you'll see the vol levels. Check taht you're using the alsa one, 
and check all of them.
