Headphones audio too low

Hello everyone, I have a Dynabook Satellite Pro E10-S-101 and I recently installed Arch Linux on it. My pc's internal speakers worked flawlessly at first run with the alsa modules, however I noticed that through my jack port the audio is pretty low, even when at 100% (in fact, if I set it to <~20% it gets completely quiet). I've tried installing alsa-utils and pavucontrol, and adjusting the volume params in alsamixer, but everything headphones-related is at 100% already. I've tried increasing every bar here but I didn't manage to get sound any higher.
I've also tried increasing system audio beyond 100%. It gets a little louder, but the sound gets definitely worse by all the crackling.
What might be the problem here? Thanks in advance to everyone who wants to spend time trying to help me.

Re: Headphones audio too low

I've also tried checking if

ignore_dB=1

was present in /etc/pulse/default.pa, as suggested in the wiki. But nope, it wasn't present
