Low Sound On 2.6.30

I upgraded the kernel on my desktop to 2.6.30 today but later found the sound was broken. Actually, sound worked but the volume was so low that even with the amplifier volume turned way up it was barely audible. When i discovered the problem, I just rebooted back to 2.6.29 since I had other things to do.

Fortunately, the problem wasn't too difficult to solve. In fact I found the solution on the first hit on Google, which leads to the this page on the ALSA web site. In a nutshell, just crank up all the VIA DXS channels to 100%.

I wish all problems could be solved by cranking it up! ;)
