I have just upgraded my Debian Jessie computer to a

AMD FX 8320, 8-core 3.5 GHz, 16.0MB Cache CPU/ASUS M5 A97 R2.0 Motherboard/8
MB RAM. I find that the sound is very faint, even with the volume set at
maximum. I am using the on-board sound:

computation@AbNormal:~$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 0: ALC887-VD Analog [ALC887-VD Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 1: ALC887-VD Digital [ALC887-VD Digital]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

I have always struggled with sound and have no idea as to the solution to
this,to me,new problem.

Any pointers in the right direction will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried alsamixer, from a terminal, to adjust volume?

Thanks for the replies

I am using the alsamixer, and have tried to adjust the volume with it running in a terminal and from the icon on the task bar.  Same result - very faint sound.
