MPD + Pulseaudio - Low Volume

[hapless_linux_dude]

I run mpd + pulseaudio on a headless ubuntu linux server. I primarily access and stream my music collection via http using the mpdroid app for android phone. Works flawlessly. However, when I recently tried to run the server to a speaker locally (in my home), the volume is at best, faint. I'm not so savvy with it comes to pulseaudio. Is their a command line fix that anyone can suggest?

 

Thanks:-)

First I would check the actual soundcard volume using alsamixer. If the soundcard volume is OK, pulseaudio can be adjusted using command

 

 

pactl set-sink-volume 0 $CURVOL
