I rebooted using the 2.6.26 kernel and my sound is back to full volume.
It may have something to do with pulseaudio. With the 2.6.30 kernel I
was getting this error in syslog:
pulseaudio[5949]: module-console-kit.c: GetUnixUser() call failed:
org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: Method "GetUnixUser" with
signature "" on interface "org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Session" doesn't
exist
Also, when trying to play an audio cd I got the following errors in syslog:
