Brad, Sounds like you just have mixer issues. Try apt-get'ting "aumix-gtk" and using it to tweak your sound levels. It's a little better than alsamixer. Also, when you install the aumix deb, make sure to comment out the lines in /etc/aumixrc (add a # character to the beginning of the line) that prevent it from messing with alsa mixer settings. You'll see them -- they're documented in the aumixrc file.
