RE: soundcard volume too low.
Most likely a hardware problem.
I went from a SB PCI 16 to an SB PCI 128 with the same effect. It turns out
that the SB 61 (and presumably your old junker) can drive an 8-ohm load to a
decent volume. The SB PCI 128 only has a line out (ie 600 ohms). I went
out and bought a set of Altec Lansing ACS21W speakers for $19. They have an
input impedance of 10K ohms so the SB PCI 128 drives them just fine.

Subject: soundcard volume too low.
mh. another problem. so this one computer was running win98 with one
of those crappy winmodem/soundcard combo (conexant riptide) junk
things, but it was playing mp3's through a set of passive speakers at
a loud volume.
after failing to get that piece of crap soundcard to work, i installed
a SB PCI 128 and got it working. however, the volume is very low. i
used aumix and set it to 100% on all channels, but it's barely
audible. i don't assume that the SB PCI 128 looses to the conexant
crap, so there ought to be a way to push this up... output gain or
something like that. do you have any idea where or how i could set
this?
i am using the es1371.o kernel module or the snd-card-ens1371.o alsa
module (both work, both give the same volume) (SB PCI 128 uses the
ensoniq 1371 chipset).
cheers,
