I notice that in some environments I'm able to increase the volume much louder then I can with alsamixer or ossmix. In a Windows install or on a pulse audio setup on Mint/Ubuntu I'm able to go past "maximum" so to speak. Does anyone have any insight into this? Do I just need a different mixer or can I somehow set the limits within alsamixer? I have noticed this across multiple systems, it seems to be a software issue, as the same thing arises on 3 systems with 3 different types of hardware audio. Help me turn it up to 11, I'm not rocking nearly hard enough.

Alsamixer is 'hard-limited' in the sense that 100% is all it'll give you. You'd need a software amplifier. For me I just use pulseaudio, the default pavucontrol doesn't do software amping easily but the gnome-sound-preferences applet when compiled with pulseaudio allows you to amp as much as you like.
That is, if you like clipping, I detest the sound.

Hmm, I use openbox, if I install pulse, is there any limited solution you know of to install gnome-sound-preferences as a stand alone app?

gnome-media-pulse should do it. Don't know if you can use the applet though, you may just run gnome-volume-control. You'll have dependencies on pulseaudio, the gstreamer stuff, and gtk2 (via libcanberra). Not too big IMO, don't know what you'd prefer.
