sound prob on new linux box

On a new install of FC2 on a new machine, I get nice, loud sound from my audio CDs. However, when I select a mp3 or ogg to play from my hard drive, it plays so low I can barely hear it.

 

When I double-click a song to play, XMMS starts up, and looks like it is playing it but I can barely hear anything. I checked the sound control on the panel (this is gnome) and it is up, and I checked the Volume Control in the main menu - and the necessary volumes look like they are all up.

 

Is there something else to check? Something in XMMS - like an audio plug-in or something? I am using the on-board sound on my KT400A MSI mobo. According to my Hardware Browser I have VIA AC97 sound.

 

I don't know why I get good sound from audio CDs and not from songs on my hard drive. Doesn't it all go thru the same sound hardware... :sad:

 

Edit: never mind, I just figured it out. Under the Volume Control under the Main Menu, and in the Alsa Mixer tab, I did not notice before that you could scroll over to the right to see lots more volume sliders. Found one at the far right called VIA DXS that increases the sound on mp3s and oggs.
