[SOLVED] recent update lowered sound levels

It seems that a recent update has lowered my sound levels. Alsamixer reports that they're still the same, but many programs are suddenly really quiet. Youtube Flash videos and VirtualBox are the biggest offenders. I changed the sound in VBox to PulseAudio and now it's much better, but I don't know what to do about Flash.

Is this something that changed for everyone or is it just my system? How can I fix it?

Ask and I'll provide more details....

I'm using snd-hda-intel.

Probably need to specify options.

Re: [SOLVED] recent update lowered sound levels

Rebooted and alsamixer was showing pcm to be at ~30 instead of 97. Odd.....

It was definitely set at 97 before I rebooted. It's better now, though. I ran alsactl store just to be safe.
