Lower max volume, cap global volume
I have GNOME Linux Mint 10. Works well but I want a way to readjust the volume slider so that the current slider's position at 50% would but 100% or something like that. Tried alsamixer in the terminal, but when I lowered the master volume, pc-something levels and headphone levels, it just lowered the volume slider, it did not readjust the 100% volume to a lower level. How do I do this? Thanks for the help.

In LM9 XFCE I was able to adjust this setting by right clicking on the volume icon in the system tray. It appears the alsamixer function in the terminal is not working as it used to . That is a bit annoying. I will look around. Also make sure your system is using the better of oss/alsamixer/pulseaudio. Some systems/media_files prefer the old oss(Not many).Pulse audio I think will use alsamixer I'm not entirely sure how the relationship between the two works but there is an option in LMDE under sound and video on the menu for pulse audio volume control. I don't know if you have a similar option as I haven't played with Julia much. I hope this was helpful.

If I remember correctly it's the Master and the PCM sliders that you want to play with . . . drop one and leave the other one up, and if not, try it the other way . .

If you are experiencing quiet videos but the system sounds are fine this can be remedied in Gnome Mplayer by opening preferences and then selecting the Mplayer tab and set the volume gain as high as 60dB. I am assume the other media players have a similar process.
