Brad, 

Sounds like you just have mixer issues.  Try apt-get'ting "aumix-gtk"
and using it to tweak your sound levels.  It's a little better than
alsamixer.  Also, when you install the aumix deb, make sure to comment
out the lines in /etc/aumixrc (add a # character to the beginning of the
line) that prevent it from messing with alsa mixer settings.  You'll see
them -- they're documented in the aumixrc file. 

cheers,
