Perhaps the CD source volume is set too low? In this case, try aumix
-c100.
There is also a volume control called PCM, set that to maximum as well
with aumix -w100. On some cards there's a second PCM that you can set
with aumix -W (uppercase 'w'). But these should already be OK since you
are satisfied with the volume from sound files on your disk.
I usually set all volumes of all sources to the max, then use the main
volume control (aumix -v) to obtain the desired volume level.
Hope that helps.
